Just a not : I am against this form of packaging only for a group of 
people. Anywhere in the world someone who wants to study a language, 
turkish for xample, may need it. Currently we need to focus all our 
efforts in Mageias official repositories and avoid as much as possible 
having too many different repositories. Programs are usually not 
territory dependant.

That's out of subject anyway, but I wanted to tell clearly my opinion on 
this. Remember : Mageia takes back the same spirit of easy to use and 
simplicity that comes form Mandriva and Mandrake. Fiddling with many 
extra repositories is then what we do not want to hear about. This would 
even force people to be members or to visit the website to add the repo 
and then access te program they were looking for. So, that's just no to me.
