Hi, It's the second time I ask, but what is a "LEP"?
I'm a bit tired of this opposition to Country VS Language (and I'm a bit tired in general) where for me this is in majority the same when we are not talking about an "English" LoCo team.
Let me just remind you that lot of Local Community Teams are also Language Teams (correct me if I'm wrong). The only difference is for teams where the language is shared by more than one country. The first Local Community team providing a good online support with a forum, documentation and other tools will become in fact the language support team for all the others. Now there is exceptions like the new Esperanto team.
It's a natural evolution for a LoCo Team to provide language support. If nobody else provide this online support the team have to create everything and I know how hard it is to do that. Lot of people in each countries are doing a great job with that. For this 'language support" activity, they need to be able to plan online meetings, and be able to invite all people speaking the same language.
Now what do you want. Each team who provide language support split in two teams? But where? in Launchpad? everywhere on the network with two names (dns, irc, ...)? For the native language support we have to create new teams ? Where a new user searching for support have to go to find online help?
I know you only want to make it right, and simplify everything for a better understanding for new users. I know also you are doing an astonishing job with the LoCo Directory and these complicated structured teams are difficult to understand and to put in only one box. But I know also you'll find one day the best way to present these amazing teams and all the aspects of theses communities who are making a great job in advocacy and language support.
I finish with a last question because nobody seems to want to talk about that. What is the place of a language support team in the Ubuntu world?
PS : You can see the list of language support resources and see who provide what here : http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/locallanguage
