Pleaaaaaaase don't do this :D Do you have any idea how annoying this is if you are a european that just arrived in China when you get redirected to Chinese versions of a page based on you IP? :DSomething that might be worth considering is setting up a central site like "jabber.net" but when people visit that their location could be determined using the IP to Country system http://www.ip-to-country.com/ like PHP.net does for its downloads and automatically direct the user to their local portal
If people have a problem with the language they should be motivated enough to find a site in their own language or to find a switch to change the language..
IMO it would be smart to first find out which people are interested in helpingIt would probably be good also if there is a basic starting framework (as already suggested) that community jabber sites can be quickly built with if someone wants to quickly start one up, including the basic stuff for registering, integrated forum, news, client selection etc etc, which people can build upon and customise.
with the creation of a portal and how many people want to translate these
documents.
I just recently registered jabbernl.org to create some kind of dutch portal but creating the site itself is part of the fun for me :D
Anyway. Let's first figure out who wants to help with the creation of such a portal... If no-one is interested in keeping a translated version of 'jabber.net' up to date then it's not worth the extra time and effort to create a generic framework. BTW IMO it would be nice if we would have at least something up before Trillian hits the road? We should certainly have something before the XMPP standard goes final :D
Oh, and is jabber.net available for all this? It's owned by Jabber Inc. at the moment.
And maybe we should move this discussion to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?
Cheers,
