Certainly, the SourceCast ML sucks. But one of the strength of the NLC is that it comes from a grassroots movement, not some leads popping up here and there and from time to time. It's about building a community, not staying in our own corner doing our little things alone. we need developpers to code OOo, and not just for Localization. OOo won't be developped by Sun for ever, so we need the community to progressively take this charge. Separating the Hungarian developpers from the central community by not letting them gaining direct access to the OOo web site hinders them from gaining knowledge of the OOo community and letting others know you exist. If this wasn't intended this way, then the NLC would be the Localization project of OOo and not the NLC. If it was just to leave an email address as a contact for the Hungarian community, a simple line on one of the L10N project's page would have been enough. But by entering here you committed yourself to make your community grow, take part in the process, interact with others. This is, in my very humble opinion, a very good reason to switch. Now, of course there are logistical and technical reasons not to switch; but in the end it's up to you to weight the pros and the cons of this choice. (And for the record, I'm not hired by Collabnet, the SourceCast system editor).
