user-de@couchdb.apache.org
Hey all,
I'm getting more and more inquiries about place to discuss CouchDB in German.
I know there are quite a bit of German-speaking folks here: Do you think setting
up user-de@couchdb.apache.org would get any traction? Would *you* subscribe? :)
Also: Are there other languages/countries where this would make sense?
I don't think this should be a "me too" contest but rather a means of helping
more people get help with CouchDB. Do you think your language's community
would benefit from a separate place to talk?
What do others think? What are your experiences from other projects or communities?
Cheers
Jan

Hi there,
"unlurking myself". I was born in Germany, but I speak English, Tagalog and Italian on a regular basis. I live in Manila, and I can say with some confidence that Germany speakers interested in CouchDB are unlikely to suffer if they read this mailing list. It is possible that a beginner's list/forum might be a good idea, but it has been a while since I met a German/Austrian/Swiss programmer who would have cared either way.
Just my 2c

On one side, it can help as you can express in your mother language. On the
other side it can split/spread the community into smaller blocks with no
necessary links between them (not sure it's an issue). Not sure couchdb
community is big enough to split it.
As english is the IT language by default, I now think it's not an issue to
follow only the "official/main" user list. Using english ressources by
default allow also to have the most up to date documentation (as translation
needs time and quite hard to maintain on the long term)

Being part of French django community, the french user list is not really
used and with a very small traffic (a few msg / month). Looks that the whole
community is on the django-users list ; I did not check for other languages.
For french couchdb user list, there is one created by benoit but it lacks of
visibility I think. So it can explain why it has no success so far.
For both french django & couchdb community, I guess that IRC is the main
channel to get help in your own language (even if it's not my prefered tool
and can't join during work if I need)
So at the end, I would say I'm 0 on this (if I have to note between -1 / +1)
;-)

I'm also a German guy, but I would appreciate discussing in English,
because it's an international mailing-list. There should be forums
in German, but not the mailing-list. Zend Framework does the same,
mailing-lists are in English, but there are great forums in German.

Hi
We, in Japan, have a google group for our local CouchDB user community(*1).
Our google group list is good enough for local communications or discussions.
But I think a central place fo langage specific documentations(wiki,
presentations, ...etc) is better because most of beginers seem to
refer apache.org at first. It will be nice the documentations are
centralized and one of contents shows pointers to the lang specific
lists.
> Maybe we should start creating the Wiki CouchApp!?
It looks good! I'd like to help. M17N CouchApp is my own task.
BTW when I (or other many Japanese) visit
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/, the site shows the default moinmoin
wiki front page(*2) , not CouchDB's front page, because of browser
language settings (and MoinMoin wiki spec).
This is confusable so I'd like to fix.

A web forum is easier to hook up to machine translation. Not that
that's the best thing ever, but it's a lean in favor of a forum.

Re: user-de@couchdb.apache.org

In other Communities they can live without language specific lists. I
also thought about this and i guess that lists with specific topic
(quality assurance, documentation, Version specific, blah) would make
more sense. A clean, searchable Web frontend ( perhaps forums) would
be nice, too.
Good examples, so i guess, are found in extjs, joomla, jquery and so on.
The Problem with lang specific lists would be, that many Information
would be redundant, the wrong or old one too.
But language specific documentation is the very best way to help
People out. Me speaking german and i would love to help building a
german documentation site, an english too ;-)
Made with couchdb, so Users can Download it Simple ;-) - like the One
in jchris's taskr.
Are there any Plans to Change the documentation style from Wiki to
something else? I think many users would help to get a nicer
documentation. Perhaps we could start with a documentation list, where
would be discussed how Future doc would Look like, what items are
good, which Structure we would apply and so on.
Would do you think?
Cheers
Mario

if there would be a german list i would help out answering questions
in german ... not sure, however, if needed. on the other side, a
mailing list is cheap - try it, if it gets traction, nice, if not then
just shut it down again ... :-)
cheers

I only speak English, but I wouldn't mind if discussions in German or
other languages shared the space right here. I simply wouldn't
participate in languages I don't speak.

Hi from Bulgaria.
I'm almost sure that there are only 3 people (seriously) using couchdb
in Bulgaria. All 3 of us work for the same company :).
I suggest we have user-bg@couchdb.apache.org so that we can have
discussions in Bulgarian.
Of course, just joking ;)

I would subscribe, though I'm not sure if it's a good idea. I can only
second what other people have said so far.
- The danger of splitting the community.
- IT is English. Even if your English is not that good, I'm sure other
German speaking people will understand your question/request. See it as
a chance to improve your English skills :)
On the other hand, if there's really a huge amount of people it would be
a shame to force them to use different communication channels and not a
central official one.
Though my final vote is: -1
Cheers,
Volker
