Barriers to getting different language versions of the Research Wiki up and running.
The goal is to get the material to a set level of quality. The plan is to release more at the end of the year. They all will be interconnected. The languages are English /en, Spanish/, French/, Portuguese/, Chinese/

German/, Russian/, and Italian/. The problem right now is a limited amount of man power to work on the project and a limited amount of time. Need for personal that speak the languages to manage and create the Wiki. This problem is a limit of resources. There were two views at the beginning of the Wiki: Wait til the work is polished before putting it out; the other was a work in progress view. Now the first idea is being followed and material is being collected to prepare for the release. No non-English page by policy are allowed on the English Wiki but plan is non-English pages will be storied. Suggestion:Could they be taged for storage? Linked to the English version? This would allow us to click between the versions. Plans to link the Main page to main pages of all other versions. Suggestion to flag all non-English page so they can be tagged for future use. Also link to English as storage place til used. When all are in place we could then click between versions. When the pages mount up in one language this could also tell the leaders where to start the new versions.

Problems using Feedback within the Wiki. In foxfire have problem scrolling down in both old and new versions.
Have not been getting the feed back from the Wiki TechForum I used to get. It was so good and quick.

But recently it has almost stopped. The name has been changed to Wiki Community Help Forum.
