..but the newsgroup format can serve well and especially so for testing. In the simpler forms it's remarkably efficient and tends to be 'self-policing'. Less immediate than chat but still quick, members realize up front that it is public and by nature logged. Threads can and do branch but it's still 'tidy' - compact and should be easy to do on mobile devices. Security is easy as well (I'd recommend something a lot like CECIL as used by the GRC ngs if a puppy.* ng service is implemented). About the only drawback is many members may not be familiar with an 'old-fashioned' newsgroup format.
just an idea - and oya, it'd make a great in-house backup for when/if the forum goes dowumm, best not tempt fate

Any progress, John........I DO realise you've had your hands full.....just asking, as it would be useful, especially for admins/moderators trying to sort out PLUG,John M wrote:I am going to do some work on the Forum software in November/December (updates, audit stuff, etc), and one of the things I was thinking of doing was integrating a chat page.

Foreign-Language Display Capability for Browser Linux
2013-10-31
I have been using Linux for a couple of years and my wife has been using Browser Linux since May 2013. It suits her just fine without the quirks and unreliability of a Windows O.S.
I would love to see Browser Linux enhanced with a foreign-language display capability as many websites are bi-lingual. I am sure that such a feature will undoubtedly be welcomed by many B.L. users. Thus far I've given away many B.L. CDs to others.
Can anyone tell me how to add such a capability to Browser Linux? Thanks.
