Language and location based content and categories

[nukeador (Rubén Martín)]

Update from Friday’s meeting notes:

Language and location based content

Since old forum spaces will be moved over here, country-based categories will exist. The Discourse Translation Plugin will be tested. Communities will be able to request language-based categories afterwards if that’s something people want.

Why? It was clear that people need to feel at home when coming from old platforms and country-based organization is what’s currently being used. It’s also important to provide room for communities to organize by language if that’s their desire and test new way for multi-language participation using machine translation technologies.

New categories process and initial categories

Communities and people will be able to request categories following the current proposal but it will be evaluated if the requirement of 3 mods per category is too much for small communities.

Why? Having an organic growth based on what the community needs seems reasonable, learnings and improvements to the process will come as a result of its use.
