HI Alex,

Markus, do you ever post across the languages between the German and English discussions? Of all the discussion groups I have found, this seems to be the most comprehensive and active.


No, there's no cross-posting between my german and english language boards. They are each independent boards. Some years ago I also have set up a French and Hungarian language board with help of users speaking those languages, but there was almost no traffic. So I decided to just keep the german and english language boards only.

It's quite ease to set up a group or discussion board but it's permanent work to keep it running if it's still small and not well known. Since I started my site in 2004 it now will have about 1.600.000 page views generated by about 165.000 visits (this year 2010, robots are not counted). So now it's quite well known in Germany and there are new postings almost every day. But it will take a lot of additional work to get some more action in the other areas and english language boards.

If I would translate each posting manually => this would be too much work (I also have a "normal" job to do at a biogas company :) ). And I think automated translation and cross-posting between my boards would not be a very good idea, since the quality of translations may be very wrong and also the topic interests between the english language board users and german board users are quite different.

    There's also a biogas group on Facebook (not very active) and my

    (german: very active, english: still not very active).

        G’day All,

        As the number of Anaerobic Digestion/Biogas Discussion forums
        grows I thought it would be interesting to see who is a
        member of what. I have set up a one question survey where you
        can click on the appropriate lists (or add any that I have
        not found yet!).

        Please participate in the survey at
        http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZBCWSH7 and I will publish the
        results for your enlightenment.

        Happy digesting,

        HOOROO
