Why should the board clarified that? Another question : how a NLP translate and maintain the Ask.LibreOffice.org site in his language and benefits from all the exchanges when his community don't have all the users/moderators resources to populate it? My purpose is to provide an international basis that could serve a the quick/intermediate documentation for the NLPs that don't have the resources to run an Ask website or to translate the guides. It's much more easy to deal with a FAQ article when you have few hands or time around than to run a whole site. > > IMO, this defeats the purpose of the Ask site.

IMO, we should not have a FAQ page if we have the Ask site OR > we should not have the Ask site if we are going to have a FAQ site that > needs maintaining. As I said, having a Ask site as a cost that several NLPs can't offer, that should not mean that we won't provide this help if it's already available. The FR project is building this FAQ since 15 years, we won't abandon it and it could be really useful and helpful for other NLPs once it's in English. > > If we are to have both, then someone should update the Ask site to make > sure that both FAQ correspond, otherwise we risk confusing our users > with the possibility of 2 different FAQ answers.

Imho that could be just another resource, there is numerous documentations on the Net, this is only another one. > > I really don't see the point in confusing users. I don't share your point of view, users in other language could find it really helpful once translated, even if it's only the most important/read items, unless there is an easy way to translate and maintain the translation of the English Ask site items.
