Good day!
We have launched Drupal Norge, the community for norwegian translators, developers, distributors and users of Drupal in Norway.
The site is the home of the Norwegian translation project where the members of the community can submit/track cases regarding translation files per module for the Drupal core and contributed modules. Members of the community can also help in the decision-making process of standardizing the translation of module names and commonly used Drupal terminologies.
Since the launch 5 days ago, the turn-out and the reactions from the norwegian developers community are very promising. Some members of our community now are asking why we aren't listed in http://drupal.org/community and http://drupal.org/support pages.
So we can effectively promote Drupal in Norway as well as give support on the Norwegian translation project and upcoming norwegian-related Drupal projects, we are hoping to be listed on the said pages.
The link is:
http://www.drupalnorge.no
Thank you very much.

johnnocHello there. Just making a follow-up on this issue written 11 months ago and changing the link.
Please add Drupal Norge (http://drupalnorge.no) so norwegian users can easily find us and gather there so we can help promote Drupal in Norway. Thanks a lot!

gregglesAs is often the case with these, I'm not sure which community is the best to add
http://drupalnorge.no/
vs.
http://www.drupal.no/
Can anyone else (ideally a Norwegian speaker who can identify _the_ best community support site) comment on this?

johnnocHmm. I wasn't expecting that it will be a competition here. But anyway, for all it's worth.... the norwegian bokmål localization project is a project of Drupal Norge (http://drupalnorge.no). This means that norwegian translation files provided here at drupal.org come from drupalnorge.no. We also have our own documentation team that helps in norwegian documentation. Standardization of Drupal-related words and expressions in norwegian is being done in Drupal Norge where a wordlist is being used by the whole community. We have our own support page where people get highlighted when they provide answers. We also have a directory of norwegian Drupal sites and has a project to help non-government organizations in Norway to set-up their own Drupal sites.......
Hmm... I am not comfortable in this "versus" thing.

gregglesHi John - sorry if this came across as a competition, it is not.
The problem is that in the past we have received requests like this to add a site for a country and the person who reads the task assumes that the person making the request is being honest but since the person adding the site doesn't speak the local language, they miss out on the fact that the site is in fact little more than a spam site dressed up as a Drupal support site. Which is a bummer. Then someone comes along a few months later and says "you are linking to a spam site" or "the site at X is a more appropriate community than your current site Y". So, I'd just like to take a few days to get some more feedback and be sure that we are doing the right thing here.
I know that you are a serious and valuable contributor and am not pausing out of any disrespect, but only so I don't make a mistake.

gregglesJohn - I now made these changes. Follow up here if there are any problems.
If someone says that it should be changed to Drupal.no or something else then we can have the discussion at that point.
Thanks!
