Personally I'd avoid creating aliases unless there is a good reason to. The NL pages so far have been language based, not country based. That is how it has been done in OOo as well. Of course, we're not tied to that approach for all eternity. But consider where this could lead us: -- We currently have ja.openoffice.org, for Japanese language. Do we now create a country alias, for jp.openoffice.org ? - We currently have de.openoffice.org for Germany language? Do we create aliases for Switzerland and Austria? This can quickly grow to a big task. And remember, countries and languages do not always align. For example, more people speak Armenian in the US than speak it in Armenia. A popular language for downloads from Israel is Russian. The 5th largest Spanish speaking population is the US. So partitioning the website based on countries rather than languages may not be as useful. -Rob > Best, > Albino
