[wp-polyglots] Call for beta-testers: official international WordPress sites

[Naoko McCracken]

I didn't think Nikolay's call for bata testers was a direction toward
mandatory migration to wordpress.org site. Correct?

Although Japanese WordPress community currently has a very mature
localized community site (http://wordpress.xwd.jp/) with an official
blog, codex documentation, and forum of its own. However, these are
all running on a shared hosting service (paid with out-of-pocket money
of WordPress Japan organizer) and the capacity to handle request load
is exceeding sustainable limit - especially for codex and forum.

With this move, we are trying to consolidate resources & documentation
links to make it easier for all Japanese-reading users to find what
they need.

So that's some of the reasons we want to move to .org domain.

I am really interested in how others are handling localization. Though
I'm not advocating for mandatory move to .org domain, I think having a
similar format for different locales can promote better sharing of
ideas/best practices among international communities.

Thanks!
