Christoph pointed me to their wiki  join page and I really like it.

Yes, we really need to have links to the categories on the main page
to give some guidance to our visitors.
Per could you work on this ? Adding QA, Documentation, Marketing,
Website would be great.

I would like us to wait a little bit on the native lang category,
because Khirano will come with a proposal for a new denomination as we
won't call us NLC any more. What we can do is setting our language
category (just like Helen has just done with Russian
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Category:RU) and work with Khirano
work on the general naming and pages.

Thanks :)
Kind regards
Sophie
