Our experience with a Spanish version of the biomass cooking stoves
group is that it has been difficult to find a motivated moderator for
the group. Some of us who speak fluent Spanish just don't have the
time to moderate the group. Without a moderator discussions
degenerate. As Paul knows it can take 5 to 6 hours a week or more to
be an active moderator.

Thanks Marcus,
We also fear that automated translations are not sufficient for this
type of discussion, but we may have a bit of funding for summarized
translation as necessary. Since Spanish is now the second most spoken
language, we feel like it would be appropriate for this type of
discussion in that language to serve this large population. English
is a good catch all for the scientific community, but I can imagine
that access to German and Chinese discussions on the theme would be
useful. We are lucky that our colleagues from India speak English!
We will be working on this theme further if anyone has any ideas or is
interested in participating.
Saludos,
Alex

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 own

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
