I've just created fr.netbeans.org :

   http://fr.netbeans.org/

[ Though I did not check in any of your content yet Vincent - I
think we still need to finalise guidelines for directory

Vincent, you are the owner of the project.  You should have full
checkin permissions, also you should be able to edit project
parameters on the Admin page :

   http://fr.netbeans.org/servlets/ProjectEdit

(though actually nothing much there should be chnaged).  You
should be able to "invite" other members, and grant them
different levels of permissions for the site, at :

   http://fr.netbeans.org/servlets/ProjectMemberList

The normal guides for setting up websites might be useful,
though you probably know much if not all of this already :

Agreed, thanks (btw probably better to *not* include KB META
tags in either the fr docs, or remove them from the www versions,
because the KB scripts will find and list both if they both
exist).

Actually, I would prefer that the directory structure of www is
mirrored for lang.nb.org websites.  I think we discussed this at
one time.  Eg :

On www, we have : www/www/kb/using-netbeans/index.html

On fr, we have : fr/www//kb/using-netbeans/index.html

or even : fr/www/kb/using-netbeans/index_fr.html

What do you think ?  The last option I suggest bcs that naming
scheme (_$lang) is quite standard online, maybe we should use
it even though we are on $lang.nb.org.

Finally, as you know, we have not worked out a lot of the details
about how to handle and properly integrate our $lang.nb.org
websites.  Vincent, you work faster than we can set up guidelines :-)
But I don't want to see you/the FR team waste effort, or have to
go back and change things.  I also want all $lang projects to have
consistent structure and functionality - the guidelines you/we 
work out for fr.nb.org should be the blueprint for future language
sites.  So we have to get it right! :-)

I urge you to proceed carefully, and propose/discuss your plans
on the webteam@ list.

And lastly - congratulations to Vincent for starting the first
language project on netbeans.org, and in fact helping drive the
whole process to liftoff! :-)

Of course, any problems or questions please let me know.
