Yes, that is (practically) the same thing that before. > If a website is done that way, then project committers have direct access > to checking in changes, via the CMS or Subversion.

I see different, Rob, why in this way is good to maintain a "core" pages, like in Debian (where i help too) that all content are under CVS using WML, giving a very good support to manage and see how old is a translation. A example is this page[1]. [1]http://www.debian.org/devel/website/stats/pt#outdated >> Can we follow this strategy? >> > Which strategy? Calling something "BrOffice"? To have a regional site out of Apache's infra. > For a website hosted at Apache, as part of the openoffice.org website, the > CMS is available by default. humm... a Wiki can be considered as CMS, but isn't easy or with same resources/features that a communicative site. But with this phrase i understand that here isn't the correct place to discuss this, and yes in mkting list. I will do it. > It is also certainly possible to have your own website, external to Apache, > and run by local volunteers.

As BrOffice, always became clear that was a *community* website, and was a strategy to bring more volunteers and promote the product, like a "adaptation land" before to jump for international project. We can receive good efforts from a non-english community speakers inside each country/region, finding people that can to do this "bridge" (or facilitator) for AOO project. > The simplest thing, I think, would be to host your website at Apache, > something like http://br.openoffice.org. Would that work? As i said, I see fine to translate the portal for all languages, like in Debian, but when we start to bring news, localized material (or more specific like spreadsheets based in a local law), isn't interesting to share. Others, like presentation templates, i agree that is interesting to converge and to join. However, i will rewrite this email in mkting list. Best, Claudio
