Daniel said it. The reason for a NL-EN is to provide grassroot
support and implementation for the global strategy in EN locales.
What is the global language for OpenOffice.org? What actually does marketing ?
All OOo projects are in EN locale, all of them.
EN is our language, not only the americans, british or australian locale, but rather the "mother" language for all projects. English is THE global language.
Our marketing plans are global, but mainly based on USA and UK, it's a fact.
From: http://native-lang.openoffice.org/ "Mission statement
The Native-Language Confederation (NLC) is composed of those projects working on all aspects related to the localization and support of OpenOffice.org, including localization, QA, support, documentation, and marketing."
1) EN is already localized. 2) The support for OOo in EN, are ALL the projects available. 3) QA already exists 4) Documentation project idem 5) Marketing project ibidem
"It is important to note that NLC projects are language not region based."
Correct! English is worldwide, what is exactly what we are doing right now. Look, even the Level II responsabilities are already in progress.
There's nothing new here. Just one more project to create entropy, IMHO.
Other native-langs are very busy organizing and implementing local
projects to a degree that just doesn't happen in english speaking
countries, mostly because we use the same lists for global strategy
and local implementation.
Oh! That's not true. Marketing is always active in EN countries. Once again, NLC is not "local", but "global". You're contradicting yourself.
The reason for a NL-EN project is so that there can be a place for talk about the best way to spread openoffice.org throughout english speaking countries that is more specialized than the place where we talk about global strategy.-R
