Boudi:
Too bad you (both) are leaving too. I have plans for WB but need experienced users between the newbies.

Totally agree with you. Let's hope that the (only) German speaking/writing users are starting to realize when this exodus keeps continuing there's no WB left soon.

WB simply needs developers in order to create and mantain mods. Without that WB will die. And that's a shame because I've tested a LOT of cms but always went back to wb. So there's a reason for that. :)

i'm not agree with this, my english is not good enough for english discussions about technical questions. The most here active USERS are german speakers and i'm not a deveploper i was a simple and little supporter. Sometimes my bad english was good enough to help the english speakers, but if i translate the words from argos word by word - i am one of the reason of the decreasing popuarity and development of WB - why i talk in my native language  :roll:
i'm sure, that Argos means nothing like this, but it is the result of this words - german speakers are not welcome here (in the future)
That the forum goes more and more to a english-speaker-only-area is one of the points, why i leave WB, its time to make place for the new and modern people

Argos:
Jacobi, you turn things completely around. WB has been an English system from the start (it was a project of Ryan, an Australian guy). Only after many years a german subforum was started, for German users to discuss the USE of WB. After that at some point WB as a project was taken over by a German "Verein", but as far as I know it has never been the goal to discuss development in the German forums only.

WB is an international platform, and the common international language for web related stuf is English. Even if your English is not good, it's almost never a problem to understand each other.

The German-only development of WB is not a good thing, and I have stated that before. It limits the collaboration of the international community. That's why I think it is one of the reasons WB is going downhill.

All nationalities are welcome, I never said and never will say that Germans are not welcome here. That's total crap, and I don't understand you suggest I mean something like that. But Germans should discuss development things in the English forum, as far as I am concerned.

And now, let's keep this discussion about the real subject: the adoption of the ProCalendar module.

[just OT and a maybe not bad information]


Yesterday we in the german forum wie had a hard discussion about bootstrap ... doesn't matter in detail here.

The anger about the situation between the active german users is great and it was not easy at all to calm things down asside from the topic of the thread.

But there was an positive anouncement of the organisation team. There will be an official meeting soon where the election to the Board Members of the organisation will happen and they will think about the situation and work on an concept for the future.

For some users of the german thread this has been a positive information and gave them hope for some time ... we will see. And for myself I don not(!) believe the team does not recognize the real situation ... the signs are to clear not to realize the truth ... but it is allways hard to admit that the former way is not a good one and that the own way has not been successful.

Maybe we should give them a chance for reorganizing :-)
And help ... even international(!) help ... is welcome too I believe.

My hubble opinion: Developers are indeed needed ... but helpers to develop the plattform (including internet page and presentation i.e.) are needed too (maybe more) at the moment.
