so to the forum-admins, what are your conditions for a german-subforum?

- by now we would have more than 2 mods ( zehjotkah and me) and other users would help us to detect spam..

I really don't think so the most users in the n800.de-forum just want to leave the forum because the admin is tooooo inactive as I described in my first post!

Usually, I leave a forum/chat room/... when the admin is too active.
What would you need an admin for if you have content and vibrant discussions?

and don't forget that there is (thats my oppinion) a stange structure in the forum and I don't think that he will ever add the coming N900 on the site!
I noticed that lots of people sell their n8x0 on the page because they are sad of being not up-to-dated and thats almost, as already discussed, the main basics!

Like I said before, put together a proposal and we can move from there.

Perhaps people don't appreciate how much of a logistical nightmare this would be - tutorials would be made in German/French/Spanish/Italian/Russian and no one from any other language would be able to benefit from these people's advice without first having it translated. Unfortunately, the way most countries education systems are setup to teach English to everyone as a second language makes English the closest thing we have to a universal language - I have no doubt that this will eventually change.

Personally I don't think the community is large enough to warrant different language sub-forums. I feel like the itT community is dominated by less than 100 people at the moment and if you start splitting advice between languages you're going to have a knowledge management meltdown - something itT is already dangerously close to with such poor search functionality
