I think it is essential to have *information*, in particular for first approaches of Ubuntu and opening people's minds about this, but in my opinion it is a good thing to centralize documentation at Ubuntu-nl, Ubuntu-fr and Ubuntu-de... We have a very important role to play in growing awareness about Ubuntu and FOSS, but we should redirect to the nl, fr and de communities very quickly...
