This would make a curator for the local.eu posting group necessary. She or

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

Do you think the curator should be bilingual?  In what languages would it
help.  It seems to me that the Germans have their own community outside
Lugnet and the big posters to Lugnet are the Italians, the British and the
Dutch, but the Italians don't tend to post outside loc.it much.

I don't think he/she has to be bilingual, since practically everyone uses
English as the standard language here (Lugnet). If the need to make posts in
other languages arises, then I'm sure *someone* can help the curator
translating.
(I know I can, for Portuguese at least)

I think the idea of making the information appear in all eu loc pages,
though good, would require serious work from Lugnet admins and then Gael and
I (loc.dk doesn't have a curator btw) would need to rewrite our pages to
accomodate it (not necessarily a problem but I'd like to be in control of
where in the sidebar it appears).

Do you think the eu countries without curators would mind this information
(presumably having to be posted in English) on their sidebar?

Speaking for .pt : NO, not at all. After we get the initial "notice", then
we can follow up in our native language. If there is a need to discuss
*outside* .pt, then English is the standard language anyway, so...
I'm confident this logic can be used by other .loc groups, if nothing else
for convenience of everyone.
