Enough said.
But hearing this quite often recently, may I ask:
- Is it “good quality” not to have any documentation and discussion on a milestone features like sys-audio and sys-gui are, for example? I mean, these are not contribs, yet everything is done like they are. Not a word from devs and “experienced” users on this. Very serious tests are done by users which raised serious questions that meet mostly - serious silence.
- The statement about “low quality” is almost always said in a way like the one who said it feels ashamed of it. Why exactly? With a very few exceptions (and I read literally everything), people are sincerely admitting they don’t know a thing about Linux, let alone Qubes, but I recognize strong passion for and recognition of Qubes so the willing to learn about it. Shouldn’t we actually be proud of the fact and not ashamed of it?
- Do you think recently mostly “low quality” forum actually brought much more users to Qubes then without it, and encouraged casual observers to draw the conclusion they should try Qubes too?
- Do you allow that actually “low quality” users expect “better quality” contribution by “experienced/good-quality” users?
- Like “Testing area” why don’t you create “Good quality” area and promote all the people you think you should to leaders and testers and that would be even better for us inexperienced users: to read, learn and enjoy discussions there from the balcony.
- Do you agree Arch forum has “very good quality”? Did the fact draw you to it, or you just go there for general solutions?
Summarized, deeplow’s quote above is the essence as I feel it.
I hope I won’t be misread.
P.S. At best I have seen very few public forums/portals/resources with less noise than this forum in my life, but probably because it is actually sound for me.
