1. Foreign language forums
I guess there will be more requests for foreign language forums like
the German to be included in the same way as it is with the french
forum in Mandriva. That's what I asked in last council meeting when
maat said, it's ok. :)

We should also start a line of links to available Mageia forums in
other languages, be they included in the main forum or external
communities. To build our Mageia universe. I think this should be
started from the very beginning so people can watch how this Mageia
universe grows whenever a new link is added. We can do this by
language name or flag, while IMHO language name is better because
there languages spoken in more than one country (English, French,
German, etc.).

2. Communities forums
I am not really happy with these links in &quot;Communities forums&quot;. As
already said, they are leading to Mandriva forums anyway and we should
first ask those people how they would like it to be:
 - keep their existing forum for both groups, Mandriva and Mageia
 - open up their own forum for Mageia (like mandrivausers.org/mageiausers.org)
 - start a new forum for Mageia inside the main Mageia forum.
Of course we can place links to existing Mandriva communities
somewhere, in many cases these communities are the sources where our
new Mageia community comes from. And they bear a whealth of
information, documentation and other help which will benefit Mageia
users for a long time from now.

Then I think these links are misplaced anyway. They are hidden in the
forum structure but they are not subforums as shown, they are links to
external forums. IMHO a better place for such links to community
forums would be the header section (as in Mandriva forum) or wherever,
but not within the english forum structure. People looking for the
spanish or german community forums will not scan the english forum
structure to find such links.

3. Moderators, announcements
People have registered their name in the wiki, so IMHO we should
acknowledge their commitment by asking them to fill vacancies (do we
have any?) before we announce the forum.
