The more cross links that there is, the easier it is to find the things 
you want or need.

We need the Mexican community to help with Spanish translation of 
everything from web pages to templates and documentation.  We need any 
community that speaks another language other than English to help do the 
work that is needed to give support to those who do not have extensions, 
templates, documentation, and anything else that are not in a language 
that they can use easily.

Now that I figured out the proper way to use spell check in other 
languages, besides the default one you have chosen, I can help others 
use that feature.  The ability to use English for menus and write 
documents, and spell check them, in other languages is a major point 
that I want to press when I go to the local school districts with 
LibreOffice.

With the addition of Mexican, and other wiki pages for their 
communities, there will be more willingness to use LibreOffice, than if 
it was just an English supported product.  We need to have as many of 
these localized pages as we can and we need to help these groups as much 
as we can.  If we do not support each other, then . . . ., it is not 
something I want to think about right now.

Either US or NA is good for me.

The real issue is would others want to make that change to their use and 
posting of threads to the list.  There was enough people being upset 
about adding the "global" name to the lists, that changing a name of one 
of them might be a problem as well.  Also, I thought that the "global" 
issue was to start a few days ago and I do not seem to see it in use.  
OR are we to re-sign-up for that lists again?
