Personally, I think we as translators should take part in the
up-coming and up-forming LibreOffice community, and discuss this
aspect with them. It would be indeed nice to se LibreOffice use
Launchpad for handling its translations, but I know that behind
OpenOffice there is a strong translators community (I know at least
for my language), and it would be interesting to hear what they think
about the fork and what they plan to do with regards to translations.

Ciao.
