I'm not sure how I feel about sub-fora (I can speak latin too ) but I do think more support for non-English is a good idea. Over here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=37 I suggested that it's possible to have both the original language and a quick translation if possible, but then I saw http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=38 and remembered that we have excellent ways of getting to the gist anyway. If you have time, translate, if not, we can manage.

I think sub-fora could artificially splinter the site in a way that isn't healthy - sadly human beings tend to congregate like with like, and sub-fora could (I don't say would) become 'the place where an xxx speaker goes' - if that person doesn't come to the site in general, we stand to lose the mosaic that maemo users have created here. That would be sad, and we'd lose an awful lot of expertise.

So:
1. in favour of support and encouragement for non-English and English speakers
2. probably not in favour of sub-fora for language specifics only

I am, btw, an English speaker. Bear with me if I try {language x}!
