I'm native speaker and I know that my english isn't quite good. As far I can
see there are two issues here:
1. Having people that can support in spanish
2. Splitting the community
Even thogh there is the slang problem, I think that the support given by Brian,
Anth, Mike, Norm, etc is excellent and I don't know if anyone how speaks
spanish can do as same as they do.
Also, I think is better for the project to have one direction and having only
one support chat is important to achive this.
On top of this, what would happend if somebody else wants to have a chat room
in his/her own language?
It's possible to have people supporting in other languages in #freeswitch?
Regards,
Santiago
