Hi Jachym, ... you can take your time in writing ...
That's correct, but often, this time is not available, having as a result that some people don't speak up, because of difficult to express... I often read a message and then postpone an answer with the idea ... if I have some time later, I will participate on the discussion... This time later is often wishful thinking :-) Discussions a this help people to overcome these barriers, and the more we practice, the better we will be able to participate! so +1 for 1. Should our Code of Conduct/Diversity statement mention that > we have a multilingual community? and that we encourage people to participate! D.
