Hi Frando and welcome,

I think most of you will know the site www.spreadfirefox.com
We are currently discussing such a site for openoffice.org.
It's main aim would be to help spreading openoffice.
Great.
There are currently 2 approaches to internationalization:
- via drupal's i18n-module. This would mean, that sOOo would be a multiliangual website, so it would be ONE website for ALL countries. Each peace of content (called "node" in drupal) can be translated into every language. The user sees only the content in the languages he specified. Affiliate- and usersystem would be worldwide.
- via the "multi site"-ability of drupal. Each language would have a own database. The sites would be totally independent from each other, so each one would have it's OWN user- and affiliatesystem, even the main menu structure could differ.
I vote for the first approach. Speaking as Danish NL lead this would complement our native lang site which is mostly product and user oriented. We also have a support forum at oooforum.dk
Spreadoo.o could supply the global, viral _marketing_ efforts. I strongly feel that we as Native Langs should be somewhat neutral fact driven local suppliers of a great product and leave the hype and aggressive marketing to private and devoted users and partners such as distributors or consultants.
Of course, NLC should be consulted but I see spreadoo.o as global marketing intiative.
