As you can see, no, it is not obsolete. > Ie, are > all the messages here correlated with one or another of the forums? If > so, which ones? The message on the openSUSE wiki was a bit confusing. I moved today Novell hosted newsgroups in front of external sources to make clear that statement about synchronization relates to Gmane and some other web forums (I didn't checked is that). If it is OK, than you can use them for reading, but no one can post messages from external sources back to Novell server. > It can be disadvantageous when there are so many sub-categories of NNTP > forums, because each one carries only a subset of the community, and > thus the probability of having one's post read by an interested party is > less than with a less subdivided arrangement. I'm subscribed to all of opensuse groups, and checkup of new postings is fast as groups are not oversized, so I'm able to catch all postings I'm interested in. That I can't say for this list. > For this reason, perhaps this list is still advantageous? See above. > Hmm, browsing the Novell site, I don't even see this list mentioned > anymore.

See http://en.opensuse.org/Communicate page, instead :-) Apropos news server news://support-forums.novell.com is hosting only Novell related newsgroups including few opensuse. The opensuse groups are liberally moderated, so there is no much of negativities that plague regular usenet. Server doesn't propagate messages posted on other usenet servers, nor web forums, so situation is pretty clean. -- Regards, Rajko M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
