 I am not trying to hijack this list, but wouldn't it be better to have a

 (Sorry, but using Reply to start a new topic is considered hijacking -- it's
 best to send a new message to the list.)

 The mailing lists and forums for the other supported languages tend to be
 established only when somebody is willing to own them, so they will
 probably come (and maybe go) over time. The problem is that generally
 whoever has a question needs a fairly wide audience for the best chance of
 getting their answer, and the more the list populations are subdivided the
 smaller that audience gets. The Google translation capability, for instance,
 seems to be getting pretty good, so maybe that is an option until/unless
 there is a sufficiently large group to sustain the localized communities.
 Perhaps we should have something linked from a Support page that describes
 current best practice for each supported language? Then if we see that
 somebody is really struggling we can send them there.

 Hi!

 This only saw a little bit of discussion on the marketing list (after
 the first draft was met with silence here).

 I like the interpretation, that there is not much to anything
 objectionable or to add, better than the alternatives, so I went on and
 placed the newest version on:
 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Mission

 Actually, I would really like to have a better definition of what is
 being addressed with a so called office suite. What's the thing that
 ties the package together?

 I use LibreOffice, but I don't use an office productivity solution
 (cp'd from Mission). What's needed is a phrase that accurately and
 succinctly provides a conceptual container for LibreOffice elements.
 Something that connects for users. To me, office productivity
 solution or office suite sound like overblown marketing (no offense
 meant by that).

 Kudos to Microsoft for laying claim to Office. The kleenex of
 business software...a generic name. Microsoft also use office suite,
 and have likely somewhere used something about office productivity.

 LibreOffice already locates the products in the Office world. It may
 be that people now associate Office with the kinds of tasks that
 LibreOffice supports. But how about a student paper, a recipe
 collection, and other activities that are not really done at or in an
 office?

 How about just a simple statement of the LibreOffice components?
 Suggestions below, none of which do the trick for me, but maybe a
 trigger for more creative people...

 LibreOffice Tools for Work
 Software for writing, presenting and record-keeping
 LibreOffice Collection
 LibreOffice Tools for (the) People

 This is a hard question, Thorsten. But it's a good one to communicate
 whatever sets LibO apart.
