Imho the discussion should go back to where it started: do we need this information at the website? I'd say no. At OOo we used to have mixed website for users, contributors and developers - after some time all those groups felt they need their information in the first place. the outcome was that the website became cluttered and there was no easy way to find information for any of the groups. That said: if we today move us-specific content to the genereal website, we will do this tomorrow for british contributors, then we will add information for porters on ARM platform, then for those who work on a new (ribbon anyone?) user interface .. and finally we will have information for those who do the marketing for the ARM-specific ribbon interface in US to the website. Ok, I exaggerate ;) But - once you started, you will not stop. From my experience, people (in FLOSS projects) tend to adopt their way of working constantly. So the information need to be changed very often but should not be at several places. So please: put these information to the wiki and make this better accessible. My summary: www.libreoffice.org should be the global website with (main) focus on end users. Neither should we put information of local interest or to much details for contributors to the site.
