But why the assumption that a light version (he was referring to PortableApps as well) has to be English? The author of said mail had an English name so we can safely assume he was a native speaker of English. After all both developers involved in WinDirStat are native Germans, so why not make it a light version that is German-only? I think everyone knows and accepts that English is the lingua franca of the modern world, but by the number of speakers you shouldn’t underestimate Mandarine either.
To be honest I was quite flabbergasted and upset. Recently I got an email asking for a trimmed down English-only version of WinDirStat. Whatcha think? Let me know in the comments. I only remember faintly from Enchanted Keyfinder. The forum AFAIK isn’t tied to the SF.net accounts if we run it on SF.net, but the Wiki would, I think. For the latter a Wiki may be more suitable or even just in addition.
Last but not least this might be one way to share cleanup (and soon other scripted) actions. This way I’d also spend less time supporting users because you folks could – by merit – become “community” moderators and help newbies or in general help other users. Being users of WinDirStat and perhaps having contacted me through the contact form or other means, would you like to see a Wiki and or forum for WinDirStat instead of merely the trackers and the mailing list (which is virtually dead, except for the very frequent spammers, which you wouldn’t get to see because the whole list is moderated).Ī forum may offer a more lively discussion among users and may be a little more exposed than the mailing list is.
