My guess is that keeping uptodate a trilingual website is a lot of work. The 
kde-france website is mostly done by one volunteer.

The 'France', in KDE-France should be understood in a Napoleonic sense, and we 
gladly accept in KDE-France, all French speaking people. We had a French 
speaking Swiss wanting to enlist and any French speaking Belgium is welcome 
(I don't think we have any yet). If you create a KDE-Benelux, French speaking 
Belgium could freely choose in which KDE local organization they feel most 
confortable and useful. They can even be member of both organizations. 

My feeling (but I'm not a Wallloon) is that a KDE-Benelux, mainly Dutch 
speaking, could be a good solution with the four goals of :
- fostering the Dutch speaking KDE community (developpers, translation, PR, 
manuals, etc..)
-  Taking care of the infrastructure of KDE Presence in IT shows in the 
Benelux (volunteers, booth, selling promotional stuff, etc...)
- Being an entry point for any organization wanting to know more about KDE 
(companies, administration, etc.)
- Having fun and make new friends.

You could have on your website, a static trilingual page explaining that, with 
links to the French speaking website or the German speaking website and have 
the rest of the site in Dutch.

Yes we have a lot of leaflets left, we will gladly send them to anybody 
holding a booth in a French speaking IT show (Belgium, Switzerland, Québec).


Cheers,
