Bukkit Romania Project

I`ve made a conversation with Administrators from over 1 month, but nobody seemed to respons, so i`ve decided to paste the post here, hopefully it won`t be in the wrong category!

Code:

Hello all. I added all administrators from BUKKIT.ORG to this conversation, i`m wondering if you have 2 mins to listen to me.
 
I would like to open a bukkit department in Romania (bukkit.ro), under your administration. I own the domain "minecraft-romania.ro" which is the romanian community of minecraft, and i think that starting a bukkit project will help both parts (to expand bukkit and more). The domain "bukkit.ro" is still owned, and i`m waiting for your approval to start this. The main idea is that i will like bukkit.ro to be under bukkit.org community!
 
If you agree, please contact me with PM so we can talk more.
 
Thanks,
Zimbilschi Andrei.

 

Why does Bukkit need a separate Romanian website?

 

Pretty nice forum community you got there :3

 

Because, in Romania minecraft (and bukkit) is generally used by kids between 7-18 years. Trust me, a lot of people asked me different things about plugins and things, i sent them here and they told me that they don`t know english ; this is the bad situation here...

So that i realized that bukkit in romanian will be more usefull for romanian developers..

 

There is already a seperate bukkit.fr website for the french community.

zzandrei I suggest you do like bukkit.fr and handle everything yourself. The bukkit team doesn't have the time for another website and I don't think many of the staff speak romanian.

Build up your own staff team and start a website just like the bukkit.fr people did.

 

Offtopic posts removed.

 

ZachBora, i know that many of the staff doesn`t speak romanian, but i wanted just someone from the staff (like 2,3 official members) to offer international support.

I think i will do like you said, it`s a good idea, but i wanted just to be something official, so that nobody say that "bukkit.ro copied bukkit.org", or something like that...

Edit 1: I`ve finished the prototype of the site, you can check it here: bukkit.ro !!!
Edit 2: Can somebody tell me what addons for Xenforo are used for dev.bukkit.org, dl.bukkit.org, etc? Or these are self-made scripts?

 

zzandrei

They are Curses, I don't think they'll hand them over.

Google chrome has page-translate, no?

 

-_Husky_-

Translators aren`t good at all, i personally can`t understand if the text is being translated by some translators. And, seriously, with that too, a lot of people (in general kids) can`t use that because it is very complicated for them. Trust me, that my support Y!M is being assaulted by a lot of kids who BARELY CAN speak our language ROMANIAN (with a lot of mistakes), i doubt that they can speak english fluidly!

Some sugestions reffering to bukkit.ro?

Ty,
Andrei.

 

I think that having a separate site for different languages is the wrong solution. Why don't we just create a subforum/category for different languages?

 

We'd need a mod for each language. That'd be impossible. People would create the same topic in different language. This is dividing the ideas and the community.

It's better to stand under 1 common language. English isn't my native language and I see nothing wrong with using english to speak to everyone on the planet.

 

Maybe you see nothing wrong with it because you speak English better than 99% of native speakers. If bukkit had originally been a Korean project I would never understand anything...

 

Honestly if bukkit was Korean, there'd already be an english alternative community to bukkit.

In the same way that if ketchup didn't exist, someone would invent it.

 

So you support an alternate community for each language?

 

I agree with zachoooo, there should be different forums, not for all languages, but the most used on this forum... and trust me, there are a lot of members from Romania!

 

i dont support this, as this divides the community and makes it much harder to get points across, especially these made by helpers. its getting annoying disproving the same old false facts without having another big website living them up all over again..

 

I guess here is the essential problem: How do we provide a well moderated and unified community forum across language barriers?

 

It`s almost impossible, because there are a lot of spoken languages in the world... so, if there will be made like 5 separate forums for france, germans, romanians, etc, every single country will want a separate forum, and i think that staff won`t agree with that. That`s why i talked about filials in different countrys, it will be nice if Bukkit.org will be the international and the greater forum, and then only sub-divisions (like bukkit.fr and bukkit.ro).

It won`t be much work, because the ones who know romanian and english cand be in romanian forums and at bukkit.org forums too. Just a "language change".

 

Nope. Bad idea.

Do what bukkit.fr did and you'll be just fine.

 

Sayshal this is what i did.

Later edit: Can somebody tell me what script is used for this page : http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/ ?

 

I am from romanian, and this project is so cool ! I support that
