<div dir="ltr">Exactly that's what i was saying in one of my previous mails: <a href="http://openstreetmap.fr">openstreetmap.fr</a> already use drupal and we might be able to resuse some of their stuff to announce events and projects. There was also some work on integrating maps. Drupal can do any of these things, in any format/layout/style and has multilingual support built-in. <div>
<br></div><div>Plus: I know drupal and I'm talking about getting a website up and running in the next month. Maybe we can start with this and be pragmatic about this solution and worry about what technology a bit later?</div>

Which will make you compete with yourself as the same files get
indexed for every domain for all search engines if not done properly
... I'm still wondering why you claim google find that
important. Sorry for being critical , but I would rather see such
claims backed up by sane arguments.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
