Re: [libreoffice-website] Forum decision - where do we stand? An attempt of a summary...

Marc,

Good catch about the NL teams. I will forward the message to the
projects@list. Meanwhile, to answer your question, the forums we are
contemplating
would be hosted by us, for every possible language. This, however, does not
rule out the existence of outside forums of course, but these would not be
labeled as official then.

Best,

Charles.
