CentOS should become a bit more international and we are already working on it. E.g. I am currently evaluating phpBB for localized forums (and any help on that is welcome). The wiki already supports i18n and translators are really needed. But Ralph, you are right. Who is going to do all that? We definitely need more supporters and make things easier for contributors and new members. One step would be to open up the wiki and to establish the new forums (which may happen this year :) On the promo site, it would be great if we could give away more promotion material for free (CDs, Stickers). I have noticed that not everybody is happy if he/she is asked for a fund to get a CD/DVD (especially if it's not the most current version of the distribution). This should be possible due to funds.
