Nick’s last post made me think of that fruity dance song from the early 90s (or some time around then). This post is like a remix, except instead of empowering you I’m hoping to exploit your possible multilingualism for the sake of JazzRecord! (And in keeping with blog titles that include exclamation points, I hereby christen yet another reckless blurt of the English language!!…)
JazzRecord is veritably an international JavaScript ORM. It eats at the International House of Pancakes (Are there even any of these restaurants outside of the United States?) and it drives on the wrong side of the road. It can’t help it. It just loves multinationalism. Actually, as of last week, Google Analytics reports that JazzRecord.org has enjoyed visitors from all seven continents! That’s right! Someone from Antarctica visited 3 pages and spent a whopping 14 minutes and 13 seconds on JazzRecord.org! That’s one JavaScript ORMing penguin!!! JazzRecord.org has hosted 72 countries‘ worth of visitors that speak 40 languages, and is particularly well read by Eurasia, and recently Brazil! This is all very exciting news to the JazzRecord team. However, there is a problem with these demographics: I remember very little of my high school German and Spanish courses. Also, I don’t know a lick of Portuguese, Khmer, Russian, or whatever the hell it is they speak in England! We’re hoping that this is where you come in.
The JazzRecord team is always excited to hear from developers that are using the library in other parts of the world, especially ones that speak other languages, but we’re afraid that the all-English documentation might be impeding their usage. So, we’re calling out all fluently bilingual JazzRecord users to help us expand our documentation into other languages! If you fit this description and would like to help out, please send an email to Nick Carter (Project Leader) at thynctank at thynctank dot com or David Rivers (Web Designer/Webmaster) at david at ideogon dot com. We can’t promise that helping us out will get you on Oprah, but we will certainly give credit where credit is due!
JazzRecord is open-source, free software, because a small group of developers devote their blood, sweat, tears, first-born, and third arms to the cause. Unlike the RIAA we believe in the power of transparency and collaboration. However, we do need you (Think like Uncle Sam is pointing you out minus all the negative connotations that the American military would conjure in the minds of our far-reaching user base)! After all, I can hit my Rosetta Stone even harder, but I don’t think my ability to describe an apple in each of the colors of the rainbow is going to get us anywhere!
