+I think the word that we have heard over and over, from users, is that 
+the localized groups would rather have their own forums setup. Wolfgang 
+suggested that there would be a link, presumably in the forums section, 
+that would re-direct people to their localized forums.
+
+In a perfect setup, the Mageia forums would have a localized section on 
+their own main forum board and manage the localized sections themselves. 
+But it doesn't sound like people want this. It sounds like people would 
+rather go to a localization.mageia.org (or mageia.org/localization) site 
+where all services are rendered in their language. It may, in fact, be 
+easier to manage things this way. The mageia.org main site would 
+essentially be the hub (in English) where the flow of localized 
+(language) were coordinated through localized.mageia.org sites
+
+Or am I hearing things wrong?
