From someone in BrOffice org i got this email ...
"
Tom could you be kind enough to post the following to the documentation list ?
- If I get further into this discussion don't worry, I'll re-join myself.
- To the Documentation Team / TDF:
We the Brazilian members of the TDF community are having a problem:
We believe that the NGO BrOffice.org and it's current directors DO NOT
represent our interests any-more. A group of us are in the verge of breaking
with this NGO and as so we would continue our work with the BrOffice Suite
(the
Brazilian version/brand of LiO).
We are in the midst of a discussion on starting to translate the Guides. But
here is where things get a bit murky:
1) We want to know if we can start this enterprise with the blessing of the TDF
and specially the Docs Team.
2) Would the Docs Team consider to open a venue for us, even though we might
be
breaking with one of the founders of TDF (and representative on LiO in Brazil)
?
3) As a possible "rogue" team could we have access to Alfresco and could we get
some help to format our workflow in this platform?
I will maintain myself out of the Docs list so you can discuss this within the
list without embarrassments, unless I am asked to return and resume discussion
on-list.
Thank you all

My feeling is that from our point-of-view it would be quite easy. They seem to
be worrying about things that are not a problem.
However, NGO status means a fully formed and registered organisation that can
deal with funding issues and maintain a bank-account and stuff. It is a shame
to lose that sort of status but these things do happen, as we well know (even
those of us that are new here).
Regards from
Tom :)
