@niallds From the Elgg perspective, it really helped when there was an English-speaking dev shop that could spearhead translation.
@niallds Elgg actually did well from very early on: 90ish languages, was swiftly picked up in places like Bangladesh.
@niallds I think Ubuntu has done well, partially because of the supporting community tools that they've developed.
@niallds Can be both - discovery is pull-y, as is ability to add new language support. A local advocate helps the local community be heard.
@timmmmyboy Wow. That's nuts. People (rightly) kick back against ads - and they don't want to pay. It's one or the other.
@niallds Primarily an understanding of those markets - but also discovery and language. Really each market needs a local champion.
@timmmmyboy Thanks! We've had quite a bit of pushback, which is one of my reasons for asking.
@jaideneverett Sorry to hear that! Like all open source projects, any bugs you can file would be really appreciated.
Open question: how should platform developers be most fairly compensated for what they build? #indiewebcamp #domainofonesown

@svenedge I really really really cannot wait. This will mean a lot for the Internet.

@fj Oh god was that a plausible tweet what have I become
I spent the morning catching up with my artsy, atheist, socialist-leaning friends. It was good. Here's my corresponding thinkpiece on Medium
I miss my artsy, atheist, socialist-leaning, non-goal-orientated friends. Spending the morning catching up was the best thing. Come visit.
Crypto & web folks: how can you make the cert request and installation process one-click? That's the single biggest change you can make.
@icco Kind of sad. I liked the "who wants a pint?" broadcast message.
Did Swarm remove the "plans / who wants to join" feature? That was the best thing about it.
My dearest wish is to spend more of my time hanging out at the pub with friends. You can help me achieve this wish. Yes you.
.@UKinNepal Friends stranded in Patan after the earthquake. Do you have a statement / advice / are you able to help?
