Hi :) This is being discussed by the steering committee but i thought the Documentation Team might be interested too. I think there are political reasons making it far better to distribute Documentation in English or American or something so that's not really something we can usefully discuss. I just think it's great to hear of widespread large-scale adoption of LibreOffice.
