The NL group leaders (these are the people who are most often seen and 
easily identified as the leaders on the respective NL mailing lists) 
should be the ones who should be taking this information back to the 
various NL groups for discussion and return a summary of the group's 
decision. There is also the fact that some NL groups may already have a 
dedicated forums hosted outside of the TDF/LibreOffice zone of influence 
who may prefer to keep their forums intact and not be included in the 
list of LibreOffice run forums.

I wonder if this will also be taken into account or has there been a 
decision from the higher ups (BoD)  that the official LibreOffice NL 
forums will be hosted on the TDF/LibreOffice forums? Unless I am 
mistaken, this is the stance that was taken with the mailing lists -- 
all official LibreOffice mailing lists are hosted and maintained on 
LibreOffice servers. Is this what is being set up? Are we choosing the 
software (JForum or phpBBJ based on the assumption that the official 
LibreOffice forums will only be run on/by LibreOffice [servers]? If this 
is the case, then we should try to send a note to all of the NL groups 
and wait for feedback. I someone is to send a note to the NL groups then 
it should be from someone from the BoD to make it more of an official 
request.

Cheers,

Marc
