[Digestion] Biogas Groups

Tue Nov 30 14:56:04 CST 2010

Our experience with a Spanish version of the biomass cooking stoves group is
that it has been difficult to find a motivated moderator for the group. Some
of us who speak fluent Spanish just don't have the time to moderate the
group. Without a moderator discussions degenerate. As Paul knows it can take
5 to 6 hours a week or more to be an active moderator.

Thanks Marcus, 

We also fear that automated translations are not sufficient for this type of
discussion, but we may have a bit of funding for summarized translation as
necessary.  Since Spanish is now the second most spoken language, we feel
like it would be appropriate for this type of discussion in that language to
serve this large population.  English is a good catch all for the scientific
community, but I can imagine that access to German and Chinese discussions
on the theme would be useful.  We are lucky that our colleagues from India
speak English!  We will be working on this theme further if anyone has any
ideas or is interested in participating.  

Saludos,

Alex

HI Alex,

Markus, do you ever post across the languages between the German and English
discussions? Of all the discussion groups I have found, this seems to be the
most comprehensive and active.  

No, there's no cross-posting between my german and english language boards.
They are each independent boards. Some years ago I also have set up a French
and Hungarian language board with help of users speaking those languages,
but there was almost no traffic. So I decided to just keep the german and
english language boards only.

It's quite ease to set up a group or discussion board but it's permanent
work to keep it running if it's still small and not well known. Since I
started my site in 2004  it now will have about 1.600.000 page views
generated by about 165.000 visits (this year 2010, robots are not counted).
So now it's quite well known in Germany and there are new postings almost
every day. But it will take a lot of additional work to get some more action
in the other areas and english language boards.

If I would translate each posting manually => this would be too much work (I
also have a "normal" job to do at a biogas company :) ).
And I think automated translation and cross-posting between my boards would
not be a very good idea, since the quality of translations may be very wrong
and also the topic interests between the english language board users and
german board users are quite different.

There's also a biogas group on Facebook (not very active) and my own
discussion boards on schlattmann.de (german: very active, english: still not
very active).

G’day All, 

As the number of Anaerobic Digestion/Biogas Discussion forums grows I
thought it would be interesting to see who is a member of what. I have set
up a one question survey where you can click on the appropriate lists (or
add any that I have not found yet!). 

Please participate in the survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZBCWSH7
and I will publish the results for your enlightenment. 

Happy digesting, 

HOOROO
