Hi Sophie, :-) I'll be looking at how to rewrite this page over the next few days. There's information that could go in a dedicated localization section of the FAQs, for instance. I'll give you a heads-up at that time, and then I hope you'll agree to a chat on IRC to make sure that the content is OK from both your viewpoint and mine.
But I do want to remind you of the SC decision to make me responsible for the libreoffice.org site content for an interim period - which you yourself voted in favor of, IIRC. As such, it is not your domain to make arbitrarily remove site content, without even attempting to consult me, and to consign my hard work to the garbage can and then instruct me that I'm not to make any further changes. I put in hard work and thought writing that content, and my work deserves more respect. For me, the premise that you were a long-standing OOo community member and are now an SC member does not give you the right to lay down the law in the LibreOffice community. What's more, this recurring notion that old OOo people somehow have precedence over other LibreOffice contributors is an undesirable mindset. May I please remind you again that the community bylaws lay down the principle of equality of membership within the community? May I also put forward a guiding principle that has been stated to me by other SC members, namely, "Those that do the work get to influence the direction of that work"? In my case, I put a lot of work into the website, and it was a voted SC decision to give me a remit to manage the site content. The website cannot be managed properly if people just jump in arbitrarily and make sweeping changes without discussing with me first. Could you also please bear in mind that I've been working on other content on the site in preparation for the release, and that I only have 24 hours in my day, like everyone else? Like I said above, I'll contact you in a few days, and - as I've previously invited you to do - we can work together to figure out content for the localizers page in the "Get Involved" section of the site. HTH and TIA.
