Dear all,

I need to post this thread in English because there are our friends in
this list who not-so-good in Thai :D

I think some of you who attended BarCampBangkok may know Sajal, Luke
and the others. These guys suggest me to open up new English sub-forum
in Blognone. I've never known about non-Thai reader before but I think
that's a brilliant idea.

Anyway, as I'd like Blognone decision to be more collaborative, I want
to call for comment from all of you in this list first.

Sajal and Luke, feel free to comment on this.

Sounds like a good idea... so we can practice our English skill as
well as our knowledge in technology.

+1 from me

+1 Agree.

However, can we just ask our users to reply some thread in English
instead of open a new forum. This way we can estimate how many people
would be interest in this forum.

I think the usual forum can handle english topics.
All you have to do is ask in english.

There is a problem with mixed thai/english forum.

Im sure English:Thai topics would be on the lines of 1:20 or
something...
So it would be kinda difficult for non-thais to dig out the English
discussions. We would have to digg thru many forum topics which we
dont understand thus discourage us from reading them. The English
threads would get lost... or perhaps some way to be able to filter
english discussions?

Yesterday we were thinking that we must have some sort of geek
community here in bangkok (Thai & non-Thai included).... and since BN
already exists, why not use this platform.
