NL forums are planned to be launched a little after the English
forums, so no need to find NL-moderators, but of course it doesn't
hurt to also take note of them now to be able to have less work later.

No - coordinators/this effort should now only focus on the english
forum, only taking into account the small NL-projects that don't want
to have their own forum but instead are fine with having one single
forum for all questions in that language.

Big NL-projects (big = those who want/need different categories,
different forums) will get a separate instance anyway, and given the
difference in size as well as in focus of the NL projects, it is
impossible to cover them all.

NL-Projects are invited to make up their own thoughts about a forum,
about what they want to cover in the forum (end-user support only, or
also for coordinating the project's work, potentially replacing the
project's mailinglists,....) - but that is up to them. Having someone
coordinate this is of course helpful, but as coordinating this happens
all within one single NL-project, it is not as important (as all
discussion can happen on one single mailinglist and thus everyone can
keep track easily)

I don't know what you mean with sign-up in that context.

Forum-Coordinator's job does not cover defining the structure for
NL-Projects, NL projects will decide for themselves what categories
and forums they need. Whether they decide by nominating a coordinator,
or completely in bazaar-style is up to them and strongly depends on
the size of the NL-project.
