Re: French Users Group

I also am not aware of a French user group or forum.

I can see some potential problems with adding other languages to this forum.

I'm not sure how we would structure support of other languages. Would it be a single French forum for discussion of all CoCreate topics, or would we need to duplicate the current topic structure as sub forums under a French category or forum?

Sometimes people contact me directly with questions and problems but I only know English. We would need volunteers to be moderators and provide support for other languages who could also communicate with me in English.

If we add French then what about other languages? I know that English is not the first language for many of the people who post here and sometimes they struggle with English. They might like to have a forum in their native language as well. How many do we support and when do say no more?

As you can see this could quickly become difficult to administer and moderate. So my first reaction is to oppose adding new forums for other languages, but if others disagree I'm open to discussion.
