Good idea ;-) > - Preferred conduct > - Preferred email and quoting style, if applicable Also a good idea - but there's something about this in the wiki already: http://www.opensuse.org/Opensuse_mailing_list_netiquette (maybe it needs some additions or changes, I didn't check the last weeks) Maybe we could also take some points from the www.suse-etikette.de.vu (in german: the netiquette of the suse-linux mailinglist) - it works mostly in the suse-linux mailinglist. (Why "mostly"? There are always people who ignore the rules :-/ ) Oh, we don't need an own mailinglist for netiquette discussions as there is for suse-linux - empirically, netiquette discussions (aka "endless threads") will *always* go to the main list :-/ > - Subcribing / unsubscribing / archiving Also an important topic, although it is already covered by the existing "Communicate" page IMHO. (If you consider this unclear/not enough/whatever, this page should be updated. Please don't create a page about "how to use the Communicate page" ;-) > - ...? - Searching the archives (yes, this has been discussed already and I hope you are allowed to include a Google search. Christoph, are there any news about that?) - What do all those abbr. ;-) mean? (things like AFAIK, IIRC, IMHO, ...) - I have a problem. What can I do to solve it on myself? - How does a good question look like ("SUSE does not work" vs. "After installing SUSE 10.1 alpha2, program 'foo' exits with error message 'bar'") BTW: several of this points are taken from the german www.suse-minifaq.de.vu which could also inspire us ;-) > What do you think?
