I am not trying to hijack this list, but wouldn't it be better to have a
list for each language that we support, if we have users of particular
languages they can use that list and not have to struggle to use English to
get help?
(Sorry, but using Reply to start a new topic is considered hijacking -- it's
best to send a new message to the list.)
The mailing lists and forums for the other supported languages tend to be
established only when somebody is willing to "own" them, so they will
probably come (and maybe go) over time. The problem is that generally
whoever has a question needs a fairly wide audience for the best chance of
getting their answer, and the more the list populations are subdivided the
smaller that audience gets. The Google translation capability, for instance,
seems to be getting pretty good, so maybe that is an option until/unless
there is a sufficiently large group to sustain the localized communities.
Perhaps we should have something linked from a Support page that describes
current best practice for each supported language? Then if we see that
somebody is really struggling we can send them there.
