It's absolutely neccessary for local community to know where is the promotion site in their language and it not depends on the URL. Globalization is not good as it looks like ... Next thing is freedom - who will handle this domain, who will be responsible for third level domains, who will have last word when there will be problem (two sites fighting for the cs.spreadopenoffice.org)? > You get the idea.

If you want to make it in this way, I have nothing against this, but I'm little bit sceptic. My proposal is to create an english version only, check it with the NLC projects and than, if there will be interest, create $LANG.spreadopenoffice.org ... And remember, it's better to have domains in the local language like prejdete.openoffice.cz. Lot of people don't speak English, they like domains with words they know, ... > Each NL project should do what they feel like with their part of the > site.

Yes, but as you can see, there should be discussion about this site, about the content of this site, about the whole idea before you'll start implementing it. Or there will be another freeyourfiles.com dead site ...
