I think it would be a mix of two audiences: 1) Project members who focus on one are of the project, say, translation, but want to have a high level view of what is happening in other areas of the project. 2) Users who don't subscribe to our mailing lists but are interested in knowing what happens between releases. > In the latter case, it would not make sense these blog posts to translate > into important passages [**] and to link to the Native Language websites? > That sounds like a lot of work. But if you want to do it... Another possibility to consider: We could include native language stories directly in main wiki page. For example, the 100 million download post had coverage in Italian and French. They could be included directly. If there is an interesting thread on a native language mailing list or forum, that could be added, etc. So the main post could be international and multi-lingual, but not translated. -Rob > > [*] > Note: also, for example Consutants > (http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultants.html) are ultimately OO users > > [**] > Why only in important passages? > Because I can think of to do this work for de.
