Hi guys, :-)

@Bernhard: OK, Bernhard, I published your changes. But I think that
Drew and Marc *may* be irritated about this. We have a problem.

This is an English-language site, and the English-speaking communities
are not getting to mold the content to the needs of *their*
communities. It is effectively making English speakers second-class
citizens in the project, because the NL sites get to develop their
content the way they like, but the different English-speaking cultures
are not getting an opportunity to communicate in a tailored manner
with their particular communities and markets.

IMHO, the time has come for individual English-language sub-sites for
English-speaking cultures having individual needs.

@Christian: I think we need to change mindset here. Remember that .us,
.ca and .uk are the domain roots of those three countries. If you
insist on en-us.libreoffice.org, en-ca.libreoffice.org and
en-uk.libreoffice.org, you are going to considerably reduce the
usefulness of the domains. People in those countries don't identify
with en-us, en-ca and en-uk.

This is not simply a *language* thing here. It's about prominent and
distinct cultures being able to communicate with and provide
information for their particular communities and markets. So it's a
cultural thing and a marketing thing.

I specifically want to ask for us.libreoffice.org, ca.libreoffice.org
and uk.libreoffice.org. AFAIK, the SC is going to discuss the issue,
so I guess there will be a decision about this.
