+>  1. hosting forums at forum.mageia.org (or st like that) and
+> delegating management, animation;
+>  2. delegating forums per locale/country/whatever and having
+> forum.mageia.org redirect to each.
+>
+> For the record, a mix of these two approaches happened at Mandriva;
+> English and French main ones were hosted by the company and there were
+> others delegated for each languages;
+
+I'd go for this one, The english forum.mageia.org being the reference
+/ main place internationally and also for all anglophone people.
+
+Localized forums either underneath forum.mageia.org or (via redirect)
+on their local websites, thus using already existing communities like
+BlogDrake, MandrivaUser.de (which will change to mageia.de), and
+others.
+
+The goal should be to give everybody a central place "mageia.org" from
+where he can go to "his" language but also stay at the central place,
+This can also apply for wiki and other documentation, news, etc. as
+long as the main contents is the same in all languages (plus local
+news, etc.)
+
+We should try to avoid having 2 different addresses for the same
+language because this will lead to confusion.
