I wonder what he is referring to. I really don't see what "Novell commercials" 
have to do with the
(open)SUSE community. This is about us, not about Novell.

So, basically:
- - those guys are nowhere on the opensuse mailing-list
- - they asked to have a wiki part localized in french but they didn't follow 
up by any means because
it has been announced several times and progress has been reported by the SUSE 
staff about the
internationalized wikis (on mailing-lists, on IRC meetings, on the wiki)

Actually he said he doesn't want to be a "simple member without information".

Of course, existing forum moderators should have a high priority for getting 
that job.
At least, it seems obvious in my opinion, both because they have experience 
with it, and also
because they have been filling that gap in the community before openSUSE. 
Anything else would be
plain stupid IMO ;)

Nevertheless, I find it quite disappointing to see that near none of those 
webforum
admins/moderators (including other forums) are on this mailing-list.
It's not about whining and waiting to get invited to the party, subscribe to 
the list and speak up.

jdd: can those folks be contacted somehere interactively ? IRC, Jabber, ... ?
Could you please suggest to them to subscribe to this mailing-list ?

cheers
