</div></div>Ok, so I doubt people will listen to me, and I know that you are trying to help,<br>
but this is mageia-discuss, not mandriva-discuss.<br>
<br>
If we start to discuss Mandriva breakage and evolution here, people will not<br>
really see the 2 community as separate. And if they do not see us as a separate<br>
community, we will carry the bad reputation of Mandriva for the next 10 years<br>
because people will think "mageia == mandriva".<br>
<br>
As you surely doubt, reputation is z problem that can be quite hard and long<br>
to overcome as we learned in the past, and quite damaging for the success of a project<br>
in the long run. So it<br>
is better to start now, by simply being fully separate from Mandriva and by doing everything<br>
we can to make sure we are not seen as a 2nd Mandriva. And this include seeing Mageia<br>
community as a separate entity, not as another Mandriva users community.<br>
<br>
So in the light of this explanation, could people please keep Mandriva related topic<br>
on Mandriva mailling list ?<br>

<br>I do agree that, in the near future, we should focus only in Mageia, but for now we are still in between worlds.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Diego Bello Carreño<br><br><br>
