Hello team!
Following our friends in Greece and Romania, we'd like to jump on board from MENA - Middle East & North Africa.
I am currently based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I am relatively new to geocaching, but in this new project I am getting the support of the "Saudi Geocachers" group which has been in operation for a few years already, but mostly on the GC platform.
While one of the co-founders of the "Saudi Geocacher" and myself have IT skills, we believe it will be best to use the OC.DE server the same way the OC.FR is doing. So we don't want to run on a separate server.
In terms of language, we are happy to stick with English at the moment before embarking into translation to Arabic of the site. ( The Stash note has already been translated as we feel this is a critical thing to do). For North Africa, having French already available is obviously a huge advantage.
So
English should be the default language for http://OC.ME We have recently added half a dozen OC-only caches as well as another half dozen caches in both GC&OC. The first GK was dropped 3 days ago.
The domain is registered and pointing to the .de servers. so we've done the easy bit.
Sooooooo, now .... how do we take this further?
- Can you confirm we are welcome on the .de servers?
- I understand the heavy-lifting needs to be done on the .de servers ... still, how can we help?
- how quickly can we get the .me up and running?
thanks,
fabrice
