i think there are two reasons for localization: language (translations, support) and physical location (meetings). i can imagine that, say, the quebecois would be interested in french tutorials, but couldn't care less about when the next meeting in bordeaux is. in that problem possibly is the solution: why not have both, osflash.[ccTLD] to help people meet up, maybe by city/state, and language specific subdomains, wikipedia style, with links to versions in other languages in every document? mark On 1/22/06, Christophe Herreman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I haven't read this thread entirely, but here are my 2 cents anyway.
