Right (the example; the wording above seems to say the opposite): the native-lang projects are part of openoffice.org. The Italian N-L project, for example, takes care of: - Translating OOo into Italian (a few liaison persons keep contacts with the global l10n project, and coordinate volunteers on the Italian N-L mailing list) - Releasing OOo in Italian by means of QA approval (same structure) - Mutual support between users in Italian (mailing list and forum in Italian on the OOo infrastructure) - A web site it.openoffice.org with product information in Italian. I think there should be a place for this in the new infrastructure. About other activities: - Maintaining the Italian writing aids is done by me and PLIO, the Italian association, and could continue like this. - Italian developers interested in core work write in English on the English mailing lists. - Media relations, events and fund-raising are managed through PLIO and this, again, could continue like this. So we are basically using the OOo infrastructure for activities related to the language and (besides writing aids) we use the PLIO infrastructure for the rest. Regards, Andrea.
