    As much doubts as I have, I bravely set up a brand new German Developer community: entwicklergate.de [^]. I felt the need for something like this because the existing German communities in my opinion either have a low quality or have a rather confusing look and feel. Therefore I'm using the awesome new distraction-free discussion system Discourse [^] software of Jeff Atwood. Time will tell, whether the community will be able to attract a large enough user base to actually be helpful to anyone...

    Hab mich mal angemeldet. Bin noch daran mich zurecht zu finden. Eigentlich finde ich die internationalen Foren wie hier sehr gut, aber ein Deutsch sprachiges Forum ist sehr angenehm, da schon einmal die Sprachprobleme wegfallen :-D Grüsse, Bruno

      Just to let you know... that just showed up in the moderation queue. Probably due to being non-English.

          But why? Because I wrote in German? I will delete it. For this I think you first have to delete? And yes, thank you for your note. Bruno

                    We now have a lounge-style category[^] Thanks for suggesting! What could the best web site be without a lounge??? Nothing!!!

                      Nice initiative and I hope it will succeed in building a community that has qualitative better content than the existing ones in Germany. Just saw while having a look on your website that the first question from Holland already is in (Conversion of a "Gleitkommazahl"):thumbsup:

                          Tut mir leid, aber ich verstehe Sie nicht... I understood just fine, but that's about the only German I speak :D Some other words too, but I only use them when making bad jokes that most Germans probably couldn't laugh about :laugh:

                            That shouldn't hinder you. Just think of how few Germans actually speak German; most of them (including me) speak something like Swabian, Bavarian oder Saxon ;-)

                            [sarcasm]Happy to read that even the "great Germany" sees itself split in various "ethnic groups".[/sarcasm] BTW, I learn German (or whatever you call it) in the school. I'm low on practice, but should be able to read, at least. Good idea, anyway!

                                Yet another website to register an account. Kudos to your effort for setting this up, but I'm still not sure if it is really needed. I'd guess one reason that German communities are of low quality could be that many Germans seem to prefer to look at and ask questions in English-speaking communities, and it makes sense because they will naturally reach a lot more people out there than just their own folks.

                                    I could say the same for "Italienische"... :) Going off-topic...I was several times in Germany (especially in Bayern), Austria and South-Tyrol (Italy). What I realized is that the "German" I've learn in the school (7 years) should be the one spoken in Koeln. Sometimes the teachers explained pronunciation differences (e.g. "ch" in "Ich") as in Hamburg, or Switzerland. One of the most difficult things I had in German is to pick the right gender for nouns: that's a real nightmare! That's even more difficult for us, because the Italian language dropped the "neutral" centuries ago. However, one of my biggest surprises was that there's NOT a common recognized rule for that, and different parts of Germany use different genders for the same noun. IMO, English is "simpler" just because has been used for tech, movies and other cultural waves, so that everyone wanted/forced to learn. Never had serious problem to understand, not to be understood in Germany: very friendly yet warmful people and lovely places! Gruess Gott!

                                      As soon as you take an optional approach to grammar it's rather easy.

                                        I totally agree. I am only writing articles, documentation and much more in English. I also have a feeling that German content (also including certain magazines) is usually poor in quality, which is why I tend to go for English content directly.

                                          I found it fairly easy. I found French to be much harder to learn - weird pronunciation and all those extra, unused letters in the words.

                                          - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
