site where people has the freedom to get their news through RSS or participate
in forums and post images and things that they contribute back.
Again I have seen many side webiste flourish under the OpenOffice.org ES community such as SuperAlumnos.net, EscritorioYa and we still need more sites with information to organizations, schools, consulting freelancers, and build more awareness of what happened in the Marketing, Events, news, opinion blogs etc in Spanish.

Hallo,
[ snip ]
You start out by experimenting, and trying to involve the community. It's perfectly fine to start a website without a clear idea of where it's going to go. You can use it as a testing ground. With community involvement, perhaps it'll become something neat and useful.
I fully understand you, but IMHO this is not the right way. We have an expriment here and it's name is FreeYourFiles.com. This site is dead ... Are we interested in another SpreadOpenOffice.org dead site?
Would you like to help out?
If I'll have a free time, of course.
Frando, I think Robert has a good point. How about you join [email protected] and try to work with the NLC ? They're very nice people, very friendly.
This have to be done when you want to create world wide SpreadOpenOffice.org site.
I disagree in a way. No one said that all the languages had to be identical. But I think it would be good if they were in the same URL, so it is easy to locate them.
Leave this decision on the NLC projects. 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. Each one of these would be independent. But having them somewhat together like that makes them easy to find, and easier for them to exchange ideas and share resources, whenever it is beneficial.
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. If they find an article they like, and they want to translate it, great. If they don't, that's great too.
This will be something like Mandrakeclub - common users logins in and articles in French, English, Czech, ... Not all articles translated ... Not friendly ...
But you can setup a system that encourages cooperation and exchanging ideas. Because *some times* they will be able to work together.
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 ...
Regards, Robert
