Yes, of course. I would not have asked to be a moderator. But then I
saw the groups and as I belong to those groups...

> Other people will have extended rights (not yet completely defined) on parts of the forum depending on their activities. The goal being to enable them to rename topics, mark them [resolved], close them and edit posts but not to have them enforce the forum rules (which is the role assigned to moderators)

Hmm, all these rights are moderator rights (closing threads, edit
other people's posts, rename topics, move threads to other locations,
etc. What do you have in mind, "sub-moderators"?

Another question is the structure of the forum, this is all but
trivial - we spent quite some time on that in the German forum. And
there will always come new suggestions about what "should be changed"
there. :) I saw you already started a thread about this. :)

Question: I assume each language forum can have their own structure,
right? Because some may already be used to s certain structure of
their previous Mandriva forum and would want to have the same here.
