Hi guys, :-) @Bernhard: OK, Bernhard, I published your changes. But I think that Drew and Marc *may* be irritated about this. We have a problem.
This is an English-language site, and the English-speaking communities are not getting to mold the content to the needs of *their* communities. It is effectively making English speakers second-class citizens in the project, because the NL sites get to develop their content the way they like, but the different English-speaking cultures are not getting an opportunity to communicate in a tailored manner with their particular communities and markets. IMHO, the time has come for individual English-language sub-sites for English-speaking cultures having individual needs. @Christian: I think we need to change mindset here. Remember that .us, .ca and .uk are the domain roots of those three countries. If you insist on en-us.libreoffice.org, en-ca.libreoffice.org and en-uk.libreoffice.org, you are going to considerably reduce the usefulness of the domains. People in those countries don't identify with en-us, en-ca and en-uk. This is not simply a *language* thing here. It's about prominent and distinct cultures being able to communicate with and provide information for their particular communities and markets. So it's a cultural thing and a marketing thing. I specifically want to ask for us.libreoffice.org, ca.libreoffice.org and uk.libreoffice.org. AFAIK, the SC is going to discuss the issue, so I guess there will be a decision about this.
