Answer 1

I'm not sure what this change involves, but you can certainly modify all the wording and URLs on your site, if that will help. See this page for more info.

Thanks. I will upload the theme. My goal was to create a minimalist/generic theme to use while I'm developing the site.

Thanks a lot. waiting ... :D

Here is the link to my theme. Feel free to add it to the resource list or use for any purpose. The theme is styling only - there are no language files.

Answer 3

Discussion is a little vague - not sure what you are after. But debate - it's built in.

The question is the motion, Anyone can speak for or against it as answers - best to encourage contributors to start answer with FOR: or AGAINST: - the new custom field might help there, but I haven't tried it yet.

Any worthwile discussion or debate involves people saying what they think, then maybe close it at after a predetermined time with optional voting. Question2Answer does all this out of the box. The hard part, in my experience, is finding people who can contribute effectively without wandering off-topic. Probably best solved with clear guidelines and good moderators.

Answer 4

I agree with @gidgreen and @Markus : a new wording of the UI would probably do the trick (at least 80%, the rest could be potential features once they are defined).

I am currently setting up a site in French, so i started translating, but as my target site is more like discussions, I wondered about a strict Q/A translation or directly a "discussion-like" translation. I opted for first choice to share it with the community (still in test/review phase).

But the thing now, eg for english speakers, is to propose two sets of qa-lang files : ones for Q/A, and another set for discussion.

Could Merkus make available his set of QA-lang files ?

(and Q2A organize these "new-langages" like "en-discussion" ?)

Anyway, thanks to all guys of Q2A who did a really great job.

Yes, I will contribute my language files. I also have a theme and some layers.
