italian community

[Petr Janda]

What is being proposed is a discussion forum, something like bsdforums 
just much simpler and with search engine and only DragonFly specific, 
which would allow to have english, italian, german, spanish, etc, 
communities _without_ having to post to a mailing list, just by 
registering.

Talking about languages, I think internalization of www.dragonflybsd.org 
would be good too (I could do Czech).

    Well, I'm not sure what is being proposed here.  We have our mailing
    lists.  I suppose someone could make a web interface for them using
    the NNTP backend (if the news interface isn't sufficient).  But I
    don't want to make the mailing lists themselves browser-centric.
