 Hi there.

 There have been some interesting responses regarding n.o.o. so i'd like
to point some of the recurring ones.


 1. For now (110+ responses), the quality of the news is rated somewhere
between 3 and 4. (both tied, but there are 9 responses for 1 and 2, and
only 6 for 5).

 2. About 40% would like more focus on development news, while 19% each
are for tutorials and power user topics. There are no responses for artwork
news and a few for others.

 3. There are currently a vast majority of wishes for news to be published
only a couple of times/week instead of every day, or once a week.

 4. The site's appearance is rated nearly 50 for 4, and 30+ for 3. About
twenty percent want an overhaul, the same are against it, while 50+ % think
the appearance is not important, but only content.

 And now for the most important part:

 In the 'write your opinion' section, the most recurring responses are
that non-technical and technical news should be treated equally, so I guess
we'd need a power-user who's willing to write for n.o.o. regularly. The
other is that series like the past CLT and similar don't belong on the news
site, but there are suggestions to either create a separate site like
omgubuntu of fedoraftw, or to find a way to merge the n.o.o. with lizards.
How could that be done? Maybe create a separate site, f.ex.
green.opensuse.org, or to try and make n.o.o. as omgubuntu as possible?

 Anyway, these are my two cents, and just something for you to brainstorm.
Responses would be appreciated.


 Regards,

Thank you Nenad for the results.
Regarding the idea about green.o.o, there was a plan for a monthly news
with articles etc. Search the archive please to see the discussion.

Take care,
Stathis

That's good :-)

Hmmm so we're back to square 345 and the monthly magazine idea. I guess
we should do both...

I guess that's because most of them read through an RSS feed reader.
Page visits are pretty low anyway...

Yeah that is a long standing wish of many people. It would be trivial
with the current wordpress, but it would require some engineering and
migrating which we lack manpower for...

Henne, could you please try to have a rough estimate of the effort ? 
is it one day, one week, a month ???

How hard it would be a by example a small team with 2 noobs, a you like, and a 
darix like ?

Regards.

Yeap we should, I think I have a Gdoc about the monthly magazine
somewhere or else I have notes from previous conversations we had,
unfortunatelly this month is a rough month full of work away from
wifi.
The main problem here is manpower but this is something we could walk
through if the planning is good.
Definatelly this is something we should look into it in the upcomming
Marketing Hackfest...

  About twenty percent want an overhaul, the same are against it, while

I think if we work the content more a 'facelift' on the appearance is
needed, just to show the 'freshness', if you get what I mean.

 I guess that's because most of them read through an RSS feed reader.

There was an OMG openSUSE page but at the end we were just a couple of
people writing to is so the guy who made it just throw it away. With
the exception of part of the Summer I could help on writing as I told
you before.
My opinion and it is one thing I also wanted for the magazine is to
form a Team, make regular meetings in the Marketing Channel(IRC) as we
did before, throw all the ideas about what we thing we should do and
plan how and when we will release that.
What do you think?
Have Fun
