Oh, nice to read. I'm not very often around there, but only on weekends 
up to now.

One might add a link to a community forum from each of the national 
forums. The user would see something like another discussion group 
within his own national forum, but entering it he would enter the 
international forum. Maybe it could be realised by cutting down a phpBB 
or myBB to just one visible discussion group and simply linking to it.

The only technical question is that of memberships - these would somehow 
have to be copied to the international forum. Maybe it's possible to 
send username/password entries from the national forums to the 
international one via some secure way... and include them into its database.

Has nobody in the FLOSS world had the idea yet? There must be examples 
and folks who can be asked how they did it...
