That is correct.
And the same should go for the germans - and many of them read/write english.

I also had to learn english to participate in the english discussions here (no kidding - the old-timers here remember my broken english?)

Everyone benefits from participating more in the english discussions.

Just go for it.

Having said that, of course a german forum is needed and wanted.
It's only not OK to turn an international project into a german project. That's what I decipher from the people who seem to criticize the situation - and I agree.

nibz:
When the dev-team is interested, i have claimed the WebsiteBaker github: https://github.com/WebsiteBaker
So if we like we can make a team and work together.
I can also make a modules section where i can put all the modules, so people can contribute.
I personally can check modules if they work (i don't have enough understanding of php to check if they are coded right).
And i can also make a themes part.

I don't know if the WB team agrees with this but i wanted to offer the github repo.

Kind regards,
Robin (nibz).

cwsoft:
@Nibz: Would you transfer the GitHub WebsiteBaker repository to the WebsiteBaker foundation, or just offer access to it? Just in case needed, I still have a local GitHub clone of the WebsiteBaker SVN on my local hard disc. I would appreciate this step, but somehow doubt the DEVs will go this step in the near future.

Cheers

nibz:
@cwsoft  i will not have to transfer the repo to the foundation because i made a github organisation. If someone from the foundation asks permission i will add them to the repo (they need to have a github profile themselve).
I pulled the SVN to Github (just like you did), check the github page for the current progress.
I made 3 braches:
1: master : this is the development branch
2: 2.8.3SP3 : the latest complete version of WebsiteBaker with SP3 (without fixes)
3: 2.8.3 : version 2.8.3

I will add you to the repo so you can push changes where you'll think they are needed.

Kind regards,

Robin (nibz)

+1 for Argos.

And have some look at other 'open source' projects, have a prober public bug tracker,
add a features / have / want to list (like yahoo), let someone moderate this etc etc.
en make milestones and public beta's.

This discussion is coming back every year from what I remember, WB should take this
'wave' and use the contribution a lot of developers would love to invest in making WB
better and (even more) user friendly, also for power-users.

And this whole childish issue about language doesn't help anything, but anybody who
can think should know an international language (like english) would uplift WB to a bigger
community and therefore a better (and more well known) CMS. (So e.q. clients actually know
what WB is, besides only WP, Joomla or Drupal ;)


Cheerz,
