I'd have to agree here with Hasan.
When WP:FR helped translate wp.com's POT, we had a discussion with the
powers that be that wp.org would not try to overtake our own installed
community (http://www.wordpress-fr.net). I'd have to check my old
mails for the exact wording...
What are the plans for countries that already have an healthy
community? For instance, would a redirect from fr.wp.org to wp-fr.net
be possible? Do you expect those communities to move to xx.wp.org? Or
will they still get to manage themselves on their own domains?
