[expert] Chat list?

2002-03-14 Thread Fred Fraley

 There have been some wonderful threads on both the expert and newbie 
lists in the last few days.  I have to agree, though, with a couple of users 
who were frustrated in wading through everything to get to the tech threads.
It seems there is a real desire for a chance to deal with 
non-technical Mandrake community issues, Linux issues, and just BS a bit 
Could the powers that be at Mandrake set up another list for such chats?  
We've got a Cooker, how about a Cooler ?  (Americanism -- standing around the 
water cooler at work, chatting about non-work topics that mean so much to the 
work community)

I just come from the newsgroup next door (alt.os.linux.mandrake) and
there they complained that Mandrake ppl don't read or post in the group.
"Everything is happening in the group. Sure, there is life outside usenet
but not much".

I think the newsgroup is a good place to discuss such topics. Go there
and read the more than 200 postings from the past 5 days on this topic.
