| This site will be a big time sooner or later... The only problem that I'm seeing now is the language that the users are using... Why not describe your project using your own native language (or in plain English) and then translate it also to plain English. So that people (or other users) from different location/places can also contribute to your project(s) as well. What do you think? |

Hi jrdkho, While the main language of the Kenai.com site is English, all of the features should accept international characters and are fulling UTF-8 encoded. Take a look at this project listing page to see many projects (100's) that are fulling described in non-English. http://kenai.com/projects?page=585 We do have the internationalization of the Kenai.com documentation on our backlog as well, but it will be quite some time before we can get to that. There are many other issues ahead of that to take care of first. Hope that helps, --jb The Project Kenai Team |

Hi John Brock! Thanks for clearing that up... You enlightened my curiosity... One last question, is there any way that us (the visitors, members or users) can help you guys enhance this site? Other that giving comments/suggestions, perhaps by giving codes or scripts? Thanks a lot!!!

That's a really good question. The site itself is mostly setup to allow the individual projects to have their control and do what they want. We just try to stay out of the way more then anything else. I've been doing a lot of work on sample code using the Kenai API lately. Both in PHP and in jQuery in hopes that this will help others make better use of the site from different devices and websites. I'll be publishing up those code samples in the future. As for helping make things better, I think it comes down to more blogs about things that people like (or don't like for that matter) as well as more personal HOW TO types of things. Our docs guy rocks, but he is just one person and docs are so much better when you can have multiple perspectives on things. I would also be very open to anyone that wants to provide translated pages for some of the main docs sections. We can put those up for everyone to use. Bottom line.... if the community says they want to contribute, we will take whatever is provided into consideration for use in the best way possible. Hope that's not to vague of a response to the Q. --jb The Project Kenai Team |

I have a proposal: Create an area with distinction of origin / language / country. So we can exchange ideas with people who speak our own language. In search of the site for projects and people to distinguish the country and language ... |

We currently have people select their country in their public profile (we have 167 countries represented as of today), but we don't have a way of searching on that field yet. Search is a very strongly missing spot on our site right now unfortunately. I can recommend that we also allow a person to show the languages that they speak in their profiles. --jb The Project Kenai Team |
