The extend of "bureacratic issues" will depend on the extent of support and acceptance you require.
Without specific requests, there is no way of knowing what conditions the ASF and the Apache OpenOffice project might set. What do you require that constitutes "acceptance"? What do you require that is essential as "support"? With regard to mailing lists, there is a fairly simply process to create one. @incubator.apache.org already has ooo-general-es, ooo-general-ja, ooo-progetto-it, ooo-users-de, ooo-users-fr, and ooo-utenti-it. Contributors who arranged to set up and support those lists can answer your questions here on ooo-dev. You can also communicate with -owner of those lists (e.g., ooo-utenti-it-owner @incubator.apache.org). See this: <http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/native-lang.html>. There is no PT or PT-BR (can they not be combined?) on the Apache OpenOffice Community Forums. There are ways to accomplish that as well. I don't know if that would be helpful to your community or not: <http://user.services.openoffice.org/>. Operators of the community forums are also found here on ooo-dev. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Paulo de Souza Lima [mailto:paulo.s.l...@varekai.org] Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2012 11:58 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Dealing with a large and diverse project - Native Languages and project teams [ ... ] It would be good if we had a pt-br mailing list, but we are using a mailing list from Escritorio Livre Community. The most important for people up here,maybe, would have support and acceptance from AOO without many "bureaucractic issues". We are proud to help and we help for fun, without political or economic interests. I think this could lead to a polemic discussion and I don't wish to be polemic. Sorry. [ ... ]
