As I explore the N-L portions of the OOo website the diversity of and facets to this global effort is amazing. You have played a huge role. I think a summary / taxonomy of the real global ecosystem would be a helpful history to have available to AOOo. Is this something you could start on the Wiki? The N-L sites are an area where AOOo is on the cusp of deciding which ones to archive until people show up and which ones have volunteers who wish to participate.
