I wonder who is still using slackware?
I am not sure what "latest" according to slackware dictionary mean either.

I saw there was one comment on this article, and I knew it had to be some joker casting aspersions. If you had actually looked before tossing your meme-bomb, you would see that Slackware is just as up to date (if not more so) than other contemporary distributions, and has an active user community.

Could you point me to Slackware's mailing lists and bug tracker, so I can help the project?

Mailing list: http://slackware.com/lists/
Bug tracker: no idea, but you can ask the mailing list ;-)

I mean a mailing list where I can discuss with other people. The page you refered me to only contains slackware-announce and slackware-security, read-only lists.

There's no real mailing list. However, LQ handles most slackware discussion. Pat is active there and fixes a lot of bugs that people bring up in the threads.
Don't be such a PUTZBUNTU Posted Sep 30, 2012 1:08 UTC (Sun) by blackbelt_jones (guest, #62623) [Link]
I keep Kubuntu on the Desktop and Slackware on the laptop.
Ubuntu gives me access to a whole lot of software for whatever I need. I use use it for video editing and bit torrent.
For me, Slackware is all business. I use it for WORK, mostly writing and editing text and graphics. Somehow, the uncluttered, straightforward architecture seems to lend itself to getting things done. I feel that I'm a lot more productive with Slackware. For someone else, it may be different.
But it's specialized, and limited. You're just being ignorant when you imply the packages aren't current, but you don't get the easy automatic access to software choices you'll get with a Debian or buntu based distro, but it's a great no-nonsense tool for basic work.
It's also fun to tinker with Slackware. It's been the basis of some of the most interesting and original second-generation distros, beginning with Slax and Porteus, through Vector Linux and zenwalk. I was actually able to release my own homemade live cd based on Slax 6.1.2. I've been maintaining and refining it since 2010.
