I'm with You beeing glad to see US-American activities in this project, and - no question - we should breed that little plant carefully. Concerns are about the way the website change *again* happened here. I remember an early discussion in which it was pointed out, that marketing is a matter not only of the language but rather strongly of the target *region*. If the US are a leading market affecting other markets I'd assume the Change in question is not a very effective means to take account of that fact. I wonder whether this is the final result of a genuine discussion. Can You point me where it took place? I'd expect a more refined result from our (global) marketing team. ;o)) [.. more good reasons for estimating the US as leading market for LibreOffice ..] > Marketing in the US brings in visibility in other markets, but not > vice versa, and therefore is a priority.

It explains why You propose to estimate the US market playing a special role, but it doesn't explain, why *that* action was choosen! :o)) > In any case, I think that for the first few months we should have as > many informations as these ones - helping newcomers to understand > where they should go - on the web site. agreed exccluding "as these ones" and "the first few months". If Your above sentence was: <modified> In any case, I think that we should have as many informations helping newcomers to understand where they should go - on the web site. </modified> I'm very shure no objections came up ;o))). > Many users have never heard about wikis, and will never look for infos > inside a wiki. That sounds funny and I think this is a very particular issue of the US market and should be handled on the US only marketing site ;o)). Again: I agree with You, that we should take care for that plantlet. But I expect better results doing so in a common effort.
