[Campaigns-l] US-only or international?

[Erik Moeller]

This is an interesting project, and I hope it will be successful
(though it's not quite clear to me yet what it's trying to be
successful at ;-). Certainly Jimmy has demonstrated that he has a
powerful social network at his disposal. He just needs to post on his
blog and he'll have a flash mob showing up for tea! ;-)

Right now the frontpage and content is very US-centric, which is not
surprising given the way the news about the site has propagated. I
wonder whether any thought has been put into whether and how to
internationalize the project yet. In Wikipedia, the project is split
across languages -- it seems to me that something like this might be
best split across countries, such as:

campaigns.de.wikia.com => Germany
campaigns.fr.wikia.com => France

Of course, many countries have multiple official languages, so you might need

campaigns.ca-fr.wikia.com => Canada, French
campaigns.ca-en.wikia.com => Canada, English

The URLs tend to get a bit awful - if the project grows, perhaps it
should get its own domain name. Does this approach seem sensible
otherwise? If so, it might be good to have a page where people can
sign up if they are interested in a campaigns wiki(a) for a particular
country/region.
