What I think is very important for GNOME is the internationalisation. I
think one could use the Apache multilanguage feature but also should let
choose a user what language he likes to see. I think to have a page in
as much languages as possible should be more important in GNOME than in
Windows (as we du support more languages. I really hate that gnome.org
only welcomes english speakers. I would liek to see a drop down language
menu - maybe also for countries. Many companies do have suzch things.

Some solutions:

 * http://www.ibm.com/
 * http://www.dell.com/
 * http://www.kde.org/
 * http://www.volvo.com/

I think we should also support different languages, although there are
local web pages form local GNOME representations. I look at GNOME.org as
a central starting point. On the examples above you sometimes see a link
to a local web site. I also would welcome such a solution.
