Well, for the Web part I still believe that a consistent user interface would be a big advantage. You perfectly know that N-L leads often work on their N-L website, software localization (Pootle), QA (TCM, QATrack) and the more we can consolidate on one technology (not the same system! but systems with the same technology) the better for them. > And even that: Duplicating the extensions site would be a waste of > time and efforts.

I'm not saying this, and actually I'd better not say what I think about making a new extensions repository. But the Steering Committee blacklisted the OOo extensions site on day 1 (the release notes stated that references to the OOo extensions site were a mistake) and committed to using the FSF repository. Which obviously is sub-par: it's enough to open http://extensions.libreoffice.org/ to see it. The quote by RMS in http://documentfoundation.org/supporters seems to make it clear that LibreOffice will use an alternative repository (i.e., the "FSF repository", not a new one). > > the Silverstripe demo (and of course Drupal too) seems to > > support translation of the single pages: but is that what you want? > > Well, this is a reiteration of what has been discussed already.

Even though technically we can do both, I'm quite against translatable pages unless there is a reason for that. I envision a user experience where, based on browser preferences, the user is just served http://it.documentfoundation.org instead of http://www.documentfoundation.org by default if he uses an Italian browser. Put aside the fact that both systems support them, how do you see translatable page as an advantage here? By the way, an important requirement is of course the ability to use the CMS in your own language: from http://translate.silverstripe.org/ I see that German and Slovak are the only OOo languages with a > 90% translated interface, while in Drupal this is true of most widespread languages. (I agree with Ben about the other items, so I won't repeat his answers).
