Wow, Christian, thank you for the constructive criticism. It is nice to 
see that we can all work in a collegial atmosphere.

We were given from 3-6 months to work on a site and so far we have 
constructed in less that 3-4 days:

* a very rough in Drupal site at http://www.parEntreprise.ca
* another rough in site on Erich's site
* a more involved site outgrown from discussions with various groups on 
mailists (http://www.wheatland.com.au/libreoffice/)
* a Drupal Development Wiki page 
(http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website#Drupal_Development)
* created a Website Achritectrue and Structure page 
(https://docs.google.com/present/view?id=0Ad3nEslnhQO_ZGZzZjUzYmpfNzZjd3pycDc1eg&hl=en&authkey=CJ7D4fkE)
* a more investigative approach with the document team and offers to 
conference with team members and take stock of their "best wishes" for a 
Drupal support site (documentation mailist)
* there is now a Drupal Strategy Wiki page identifying time lines; areas 
of importance thus far for site development and "contentious decisions) 
(http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Drupal_Strategy)
* Drupal Proof of Concept Wiki page 
(http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Drupal_Proof_of_Concept)
* a Wiki page where busy Drupal Team Members are organising their roles 
within the Drupal development 
(http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Drupal)
* a Drupal Wiki page for module assessment/testing and establishing 
member roles 
(http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Drupal_Modules#Documentation_framework)
* we are presently investigating better communications method to the 
Drupal Team (Florian has been made aware of this and we may ask him for 
a mailist/forum/nntp etc later after our discussion) -- 
(http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Drupal)

And this is only the start. We presently have a membership of 13 people 
on the Drupal Website Team (everyone if free to join and participate); 
we also have an offer from a Drupal Website dev. company and we are 
looking at their offer or paticipation and the generous conditions of 
only having some kind of recognition of their help on the LibO site -- 
Florian may have to take this to the SC for a closer look)

I am quite proud of the amount of cooperation that I have seen in many 
groups and find that this group, again, exemplifies very well what 
should be a cooperative and collaborative group.

Yes, there will be hiccups along the way but we will get it right for 
all stakeholders and keep listening to other suggestions in order to 
deliver a well-thought-out and productive home for "The Document 
Foundation" and "LibreOffice".

Many thanks for your words of wisdom and we will certainly try our best 
to correct any oversights that you may have pointed out.

Marc
