I understand what you're saying. From what I see, Mwiki, unlike say the web site, looks like it has primarily been used as an easy route for volunteer contributions for tutorials, tips, etc. I don't think we necessarily know in advance what will be "maintained". People request accounts (Previous to our spam attacks, this was done automatically -- I am hoping we can at some point return to this). So I am suggesting that we at least have Documentation areas for the languages that are itemized on the main page. Ideally, it would be great if we could have language specific areas for the language versions we distribute for OpenOffice. > > On 2 February 2013 19:06, Kay Schenk <kay.sch...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 4:14 PM, Rob Weir <robw...@apache.org> wrote: > > > > > On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 7:09 PM, Kay Schenk <kay.sch...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > I notice we don't have many native language documentation areas on > the > > > wiki > > > > -- > > > > > > > > http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation > > > > > > > > as we do languages on the main page > > > > > > > > http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page > > > > > > > > Should we add more languages to the Documentation main page?
