  ..while doing a bit of research, i've been visiting a lot of "international" postnuke sites and started wondering if there were "guidelines" in place to be met in order to obtain an "official" status as a recognized postnuke "authority".. and if not (which I don't think there is..).. should there be?
  
  ..i'll spare the "opinions and observations" bit ;) , but, I think "certification" would help considerably in maintaining the integrity of the namesake while rewarding the accountable with a certain "prestige" via recognition. ..by which, I mean, are standards being met? If so, maybe they should be recognized, possibly, with a symbol/icon/seal of approval.
  
  ..uniformity has the potential to draw communities into one..as is, they appear to be satellites.

  Its great idea - my site name is "Postnuke Polska" its nothing about "official" but when ppl talk to other they use this world.
  
  Its will be very nice from management team if the postnuke sites around the word will be somehow recognized:). And any symbol which represent “official” status its also good idea!
  
  I looking for replay from postnuke management team.

  I think some form of Certification would be a good idea. Be nice if we could consolidate sites sort of like how Xaraya and some other projects have done, with country specific sub.domains, even if the subdomain is only a redirect.

  Hazan: I was there too :) .. I like your layout a lot.. and it seems a popular place.. it's good to hear the feedback from one of the global communities.
  
  Michael: I thought the same thing.. along the lines of the sub-domain concept was a simple page that could be found on all "certified" sites that link to the other global communities.. which would tie them closer together (among other beneficial aspects.).

  i have the idea of translating pn.com homepage(news from topics) into cat and spa..
  which i think the best will be to to show a dropdown for 'choose your lang' in postnuke.com homepage and be able to get there also with spa.postnuke.com, cat.postnuke.com,..
  instead of doing it in the spa and cat sites. Other things to mind should be:
  This titles in native lang
  'comment' -linked to the english new for to make compulsory to comment in eng
  'contact translator' in case of translation errors
  'contact pn.com admin' in case of translator not replying
  'download spanish'
  
  
  http://www.dev-postnuke.com is the main spanish speakers site, but if postnuke.com management call it spa.postnuke.com, what will happen with http://www.postnuke-hispano.com and http://www.aferve.com?,
  will they have spa2.postnuke.com and spa3.pn.com? -i don't think it's the best
  
  i think will be better (for sites certification-prestige) to do dp.postnuke.com for dev-postnuke.com (dp is their main slogan) and ppl.postnuke.com for post-nuke.pl with the subdomain name as the others choose and redirected to where the other say(in their site) because maybe this will push the others to do a specific section in their site for postnuke.com enhancement(never duplications)
  or dev-postnuke.com will like to be redirected to the english forum or somewhere else...
  , as they will be happy to have this kind of cute detail and as it happens in 'pay it forward' somehow will be rewarded.. It's a hard but worthy task i think
  going even forward, a xmenu as dropdown linking to all certified(sub.domains) sites

  ..I've found proposals are often best received when it requires very little (to none) thought and effort on the part of the approving party... whoever they may be :)
  
  ..first should be a sensible list of accumulative "requirements" or "guidelines/standards" that need to be met to achieve recognition as an "official/certified" PostNuke "branch".

  Hi.
  
  I'm agree with this great idea, I think that an "official-certified" status could be a great step for trying to make postnuke a better ¿standar?. I don't think making sub-domains (spa.postnuke.com, any-thing.postnuke.com) could be very useful, a lot of sites can request to have a sub-domain....
  
  Anyway, making "official" comunities is a very good idea, but it could be hard for postnuke team to create valid requirements for a comunity. Some of them can be: translation or cretion of new docs, development of themes, support, development of modules-blocks... etc etc Maybe can be usefull a point system, for example:
  Making themes (3 points), Making modules (4points), Translation of docs (2 points)...
  
  If you need any help, just email me ;)
  
  Sorry for my mistakes, english is not my native language and it's hard for my. I have some ideas about "official sites" but I'm not able to translate to english (at this moment) :(
  
  
  Regards.
