Different languages on social channels
Hello community.
I've been noticing that the PhoneGap, and others as well, social handlers
for different languages are very active.
Why Apache Cordova doesn't have something similar? Has this been an idea in
the past? I think this could increase the mobile developers base around
Cordova.
I'm happy to take a stab on a Spanish Apache Cordova account and I'm sure
many will be interested on others too.
Any thoughts around this idea?

Since Apache Cordova has no official meaning to support these type of
accounts, I agree with you Michal. Leave this to the community (as long as
it is stated that such accounts in any social channel are not officially
supported by Apache).
Thanks Lisa and Michal for your comments

Ah, Gotcha.
Well.. we don't currently have even a user group mailing list (by design)
for cordova. I think the strategy for now has been that contributors to
cordova can maintain channels to audience which they are responsible for.
Many contributors have personal blogs are tweet about cordova goings-on.
This isn't an "official" support channel by any means, but at least the
people who run these put in the effort to answer because their personal
reputation is on the line. I'm concerned that if we set up something
official it wouldn't actually be maintained (this has been fairly true
historically).
Instead, if you personally would like to create a spanish cordova support
community, I expect we would all be enthusiastically supportive of that --
as long as the branding is clear that it is not official.

I think what Victor is saying that there is a phonegap twitter handle for
example for spanish (https://twitter.com/phonegapspain) but there is only
the Cordova twitter handle for English.

I'm not sure I understand. What specifically is the request? I'm not sure
what a social handler is.

I'm not sure I understand. What specifically is the request? I'm not sure
what a social handler is.
