Translations and legally > prohibited content aside, what else is driving this? I'm thinking that in fact it's being driven by the *awareness* of the fedoracommunity.org redesign that Mo is doing. More visibility, and people suddenly start popping up to say, "Hey, I'd like to get one of those!" What we have to be vigilant about is development of barriers between the local community and the main Fedora Project. Having local communities has enabled Fedora to spread around the world. But we do want to maintain a unified project where everyone, whether they're in Nicaragua, the Netherlands, or New York, communicates centrally at some level. -- Paul W.
