I'd go for this one, The english forum.mageia.org being the reference
/ main place internationally and also for all anglophone people.

Localized forums either underneath forum.mageia.org or (via redirect)
on their local websites, thus using already existing communities like
BlogDrake, MandrivaUser.de (which will change to mageia.de), and
others.

The goal should be to give everybody a central place "mageia.org" from
where he can go to "his" language but also stay at the central place,
This can also apply for wiki and other documentation, news, etc. as
long as the main contents is the same in all languages (plus local
news, etc.)

We should try to avoid having 2 different addresses for the same
language because this will lead to confusion.
