Hi William,
Good questions, I have never seen this discussion before. There are
native lang projects that are active in countries that are in
development. I am not sure whether the global site should direct its
attention directly to these countries. Keep it global. We might of
course try to limit the site's overall size as much as possible. Which
benefits almost anyone actually.

This question occurred to me after replying to a post by Graham about
continuing prevalence of dial-up in the world.
Does anybody have a feel for the potential growth of Linux and OOo in
the Third World?
I have the "One Laptop Per Child" project in mind, but I am sure there
are hundreds of other projects or growth opportunities. Is OOo's
competition mainly in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand?
Does the fact that OOo is free, really contribute to its expansion into
other parts of the world?
Is this a head-to-head competition with an attempt to get people to
replace existing office suites with OOo? Or, is it mainly a competition
for market share by expansion into new markets?
I honestly haven't picked up on this before and was wondering if there
has been serious thought put into it.
