Any Support for National Arch Users ?

Hey There,

We, as Turkish users of Arch Linux, want to contribute our very beloved distro for i18n, packaging and documentation. In order to accomplish this task, some of our friends have already made the move and bought http://www.archlinuxtr.org. But some of us think that since we're trying to create our community, it'd be the best if we could get a subdomain (http://tr.archlinux.org) and e-mail lists etc....

As far as I can see, Arch doesn't provide these things for its communities.. Is there a plan for this in the future or should we do it "arch way" ?

i don't think that this is a good ideea because this will split the community. many user from different country are smart people and can help other. but they can't because on those forum the official language will be the native one.

@T-u-N-i-X: Good luck! :-) At the moment I think it is best if every national Arch community is "self hosted". This has some advantages like less work and no additional need for resources for archlinux.org. In addition to this you keep your flexibility. BTW: Why not archlinux.tr?

@wonder: I am not sure if I understand you. But if you think creating national communities will split the entire arch community, you are wrong. :-) If done right the opposite is the case and such communities are a great addition to everybody.

Thanks Pierre.. (also want to be an Arch developer )

I don't think .tr is available with a second extension like .com.tr .. We'll keep using archlinuxtr.org but we need a language section in the Wiki for TR language.. Any ideas on how to do that ?
