Hi Dave,

Well, today the francophone local chapter aims to group all french speaking 
people : from Quebec to Vietnam via France, Belgium, Swiss ... ;-)

BTW, if the local chapter is not group by the langage but by geographic 
location, indeed we could get two local chapters with the same langage. Thus 
it could be interesting to define a local chapter : is it a group of people 
speaking the same langage? Is it a group of people living close each other 
(l. c. =geographic location) ? Both of them?

I just proposed to get the same structure inside the wiki so if there are two 
local chapters, for instance: Quebec and France, we wil get two namespaces. I 
understand it could be seems to create a gap between them. But to me, 
namespace is just wiki organization. Am I right?

I would like to follow your exemple again: if there are these two local 
chapters, it will be important that both of them work together about 
translation, ... except for tradeshows, booths, local contact. It may not be 
useful to get this two local chapters? Together they will be stronger and it 
could be possible to organize the local chapter in order to allow some people 
to be present in local tradeshow. This is why we are creating (on-going) one 
francophone local chapter: we are stronger together.

Thanks Dave to run this topic because it's an important question which I will 
report to the francophone mailinglist. I hope that you undestand my poor 
english. :-)

Regards,

Y.
