I think I agree.  The topic of localised home pages, and full sites
(eg ru.netbeans.org) came up again internally recently, and I'd like
to see more of those sites started.

The version of SC we are now using supports Apache's content negotiation
of locale - so eg a user with an RU locale who visits nb.org/index.html
could automatically be served index_ru.html.  That page could for eg then
redirect the user to http://ru.netbeans.org/.  Just an idea.

Anyway - anyone interested in setting up their own language site, like
Vincent has done for http://fr.netbeans.org/ ?  The requirements we
originally discussed was simply to have all of the "essential docs"
listed here :

   http://www.netbeans.org/community/contribute/localise.html

translated, and enough interest in setting up and maintaining the site.
