Hello Justin, Well, I think it would be better if SpreadOOo was focusing on promoting OOo, not playing games like duplicating forums and mailing lists of NL projects. You may not be aware of that, but NL project who had needs that the SourceCast site was not able to provide have been opening local websites already. And they don't need SpreadOOo unless they wish to generate some extra-marketing and buzz, which is a good thing by the way. You will also notice that this point validates Robert Votja's opinions on international sites.
