Poll: Should we use Google Groups or another site more popular in Japan?
timofonic
As many of you know, I'm organizing a team for the Pandora Japan
community. The idea is a site oriented for Japan, in the native
language and being a complete community with news, forum, wiki,
software repository and possibly a chat. I think Joomla is a great
CMS, very flexible and easy to configure.
I created this group in Google Groups for making the communication
between all volunteers more easy, but it seems some Japanese people
aren't comfortable with Google Groups.
What do you think about using Google Groups? Do you know about any
alternative for communicating that can be more Japanese friendly?
We need to solucionate this problem as soon as possible, as we want
the participation of Japanese people in this future community. About
the language barrier, I only want to organize the team and having a
usable site, then I can disappear or be in background for tasks that
my ignorance of the Japanese language is not a problem.

Here is my thought.
Japanese PDA communities are using Wiki for this kind of information
sharing, since it became available and common (as long as I know).
I found there is already some people start editing he pandorawiki.org.
http://www.pandorawiki.org/Jp:Main_Page
I think there is no reason not to use this.
For the community, I found two communities about Pandora in mixi.jp.
One was for the game side and the other was for Pandora as PDA.
I also found at least number of people talking about Pandora on 2ch.net.

I didn't look into it so there might be some other also.
I can see that some of them are checking openpandora.org and talking
about the posts on the gp32x forum.
One of the post in the link above was saying he ordered the first batch, but
am worrying if he wasted his money since he has no programming and no
Linux background.
I hope our work helps those people in some way.
Well, this is what I think right now.
Oh, by the way, I reserved OpenPandora.jp domain just for in case.
regard.

I think you are right. As you are native Japanese, what about
requesting to be the administrator of the Japanese wiki for Pandora?
It can be into pandorawiki.org so there's some kind of official place
for all Pandora wikis. Of course maybe there are more candidates, but
maybe there's enough work for having more than one administrator.
Thanks a lot for reserving OpenPandora.jp, that solves the issue of
the domain name. Do you have some hosting? I can use one hosting
provider for this site, I already paid for it many months ago. My
proposal is installing Joomla and then modify the looking and
configuration until having it ready for use.
What do you all think?
Regards.
