This is a good premise!

Thank you for bringing this debate on the list. I always liked the idea
of plone being
- a neat layouted portal
- addressed to visitors from all over the world (multilingual)
- decentralized, so that more than one administrator could maintain
their bundle of translators ;)
BUT: All issues mentioned before kept
- the amount of editros low
- the synchronization of langues slow / impossible

Several discussions at our German work'n'learn weekends showed that
there is a slight rejection of the Plone portal. Meanwhile, Mambo had
be started on the German web page - for testing purposes you might
register there. While being aware that all major contents must stay
international, we were discussing about mirroring the German branch of
the plone site - somehow.

If there is an alternative, that is feasible and can import the
contents: yes, please. If there is an Plone-immandent solution: why
not, but there has to change a lot.

Rather no wiki. We are dropping our German wiki now and moving to mambo.
Additionally one could discuss offering courses on SLX in moodle or
ilias.
As for ex-/importing contemporary contents: I'd stress on contents - as
for structure, I'd plea for discussing a slight tightening of the top
level menu.
