Not necessarily... To be honest, I would think a french forum would be a good idea. To be more specific, I'd envision a subset of "international" (for lack of a better term) forums, with any language currently on the wiki being included in the forum. Now, since this is all still very open still, and even the forum is up in the air, I would say the idea of doing what you mentioned is fairly premature... I would wait further discussion until the forum does/does not become official, and then go from there. Also, as mentioned in prior threads, there are the legal grey areas. France, as of late, has been problematic in terms of software patents, and decisions that directly relate to the legality of open source software in general. I would be very wary about wanting to be consider an "official" forum, even in france only, not to mention its already been stated that no community forum could really be named official anyways.
