First of all, you can take a look at the beta-version of my skin propsal for sOOo at www.spreadopenoffice.org.
I recommend that spreadopenoffice.org takes a design similar to the new www.openoffice.org. It seems to be spreadfirefox's approach to look similar to mozilla.org, too.
But now I'll try to summarize the thread:
- Categorically, we need a site like spreadopenoffice.
- There are 2 proposals for the orientation of the site:
- more static site, no public user managment, no bulletin boards. End-user-information and link collection. Maybe affiliate system.
- more dynamic site with possibilty for everyone to register and add content (blogs). Community style with bulletin boards. Affiliate system.
I support a bottom up approach that encourages the most active community and eliminates bottle necks.
- For internationalization, I think there are also 2 possibilities how to realize it with drupal:
- via the i18n-module. This would mean, that sOOo would be a multiliangual website, so it would be ONE website for ALL countries. Each peace of content (called "node" in drupal) can be translated into every language. The user sees only the content in the languages he specified. Affiliate- and usersystem would be worldwide.
- via the "multi site"-ability of drupal. Each language would have a own database. The sites would be totally independent from each other, so each one would have it's OWN user- and affiliatesystem, even the main menu structure could differ.
1st +1 - Let's try to build a global, coherent community where community members feel that they participate in the biggest, international Open Source project instead of just a small enclave of it.
