So far, > fr.centos.org is the only one that is already in place (using punBB). I would welcome a wiki based site (as most work is already done in the wiki) with i18n support, instead. A lot of guys and girls are currently working on translating content and the already existing structure ($HOST/$LANG/$SITE) and a simple language switcher could be added easily. In my POV there are only a few aspects that cannot be handled with a wiki system: - (maybe) planet.centos.org - dynamic mirror list - the forums ... An option could be to add language specific forums or at least forum sections for commonly used languages. Localiced forums could also be handled by user groups in foreign countries (like we already do on gcug.de). It is important to keep the content synched for all languages which would be nearly impossible on splitted sites, you suggested. I was also a bit shocked that the fr.centos.org sited completly breaks with the rest of the CentOS.org style. Best Regards Marcus
