Hi guys,

I haven't read this thread entirely, but here are my 2 cents anyway. I'm 
sorry in advance if I'm talking about stuff that has been discussed before.

In my opinion, there has to be a distinction between osflash, its 
usergroups and its mailinglists. While it is preferable to have a 
seperate space per usergroup, I think that projects, tutorials, etc 
should stay in 1 place being osflash.org with the possibility of making 
every single page localized.  That way, the structure of the wiki and 
its content stays the same for every  locale which makes it much easier 
to understand, find and maintain. I don't know what the possibilities 
are with the current Wiki software, but maybe someone could throw a 
light on this.

On the other hand, I wouldn't mind if every usergroup had its own site 
on a subdomain of osflash.org. What about belgium.osflash.org, 
netherlands.osflash.org, italy.osflash.org, etc for the sites of the 
usergroups vs. osflash.be, osflash.nl, osflash.it, etc. The intention of 
the usergroup sites should be to form a local community where 
arrangements and announcements can be made for meetings. Its intention 
should not be to form a new community with own tutorials, examples, etc. 
or at least that's what I think.

Just some thoughts.

regards,
Christophe
