[orcmid] Let me restate my question. 3a. I found <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/site/trunk/content/get-involved.mdtext> once I realized I was looking in the wrong place. I get that the page was created in June 2011 by robweir and was last updated in 2012 and then again in 2015 when the link to a standalone German page was added. 3b. The adjacent German page was created on my birthday in January, 2015, by joesch. 3c. My first question is why is not <http://www.openoffice.org/contibuting>, the material at <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/content/contributing/index.html> used? If that is obsolete, should we not deleted that folder from the current SVN trunk? 3d. My second question is, why is not <http://www.openoffice.org/participate>, the material at <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/ooo-site/trunk/content/xx/participate/index.mdtext> used. That page was created in August 2013 (also by robweir) and has been part of fixes made as recently as 2014. This xx area is perfect for localization usage, and would allow others to create localized versions, it seems to me. Again, if this folder is not actually used on the site, should it not be deleted from the current SVN trunk? My preference would be for the xx to be used so that the opportunity for localizations in other languages, not just German, could be handled in what appears to be the standard way.
