Samson, It is so sad that you have decided not to second the motion to support an XO build that includes the Yoruba and Igbo translations. After US$ 4,000, almost a year that translations were completed, and an extensive list of voluntary hours invested from many members of the community, such translations have reached 0 learners! please explain openly. First, there was a motion. So we can't attend to both. One has to go first. I second the motion. I have been working on getting the translations to the learners. But if we are to do this.. we should also focus on Sugar on Stick too. I hope this is not the story you plan to share with other communities as it will make SL community sound like a group of crazy people. I don't understand this statement, but if it is possible i would like to work with you to make this possible. We can come up with a better plan to market this build. I and walter are already working on workshops in nigeria. So it is okay by me. I second the motion.
