Talk:Catala

to start a posible discusion here.. Why there's need of cat.osgeo.org if there's already es.osgeo.org/catala? Well, creating language specific subdomains is not duplicating political/administrative ones. Innstead, the people maintaining those languages related domains, have to be more integrated in the OSGeo and do a QA (translations and orgs control) in a upper level, apart of serving as a better entry point. ( :)

Will aplications based in Barcelona which are developed in spanish be supported the by the Catala group or will it need another different place?
-Another url for the web presentation/etc.., different the mailing lists/forums although catalans have the advantatge that we can be posting in catala and spanish people in spanish and have a good thread! if 'they' want to!.
In an local branch 'office' where there are two official languages, the supporting people should speak both languages, so no need to have an 'office' for catalan and another one for spanish.

How the cat.osgeo.org group has to support a catalonian based OSmap aplication for Perpignan/Perpinya?
-By assuring that (if there's) a french OSGeo associated Foundation, it suports the project in their offices (if have) in Perpignan if there are volunteers from the map project to be 'at the office'. The local Countries Foundations have to have a Languages friendly policy if they want to sign a colaboration/membership agreement with the OSGeo.

How to further subdivide regional groups?[[1]].
In the cat.osgeo.org case(languages), it could go for val.cat.osgeo.org (VALencian is a catalonian dialect) . In the es.osgeo.org case, as said above, it just needs to have a es. map where you can find the cat representatives and tools when you click in Barcelona. If there's need of, es.orge.org/catalunya better than catalunya-es.osgeo.org.. and also to be consodered iberica.osgeo.org/Pais_Valencia
