Agreed from my side. I also see the best solution in the same system
as it has been with Mandriva:
 - one international main forum (mageiausers.org) for everybody with
English as common language (although for Mandriva there are 2 large
forums, one company-led, one independent)
 - localized forums for non-english speakers - I guess most
independant local organisations already "signed up" for Mageia :)

At the independent German forum MandrivaUser.de we will change name to
mageia.de soon (mandrivauser.de becoming a redirect to mageia.de) but
we will still support users of Mandriva Linux and keep our repository
and other Mandriva related stuff side by side with Mageia related
stuff. Even when Mageia will release its own packages and/or release I
agree that we should keep supporting Mandriva Linux users as well as
long as possible.
