Jeg ser det har dukket opp en ny gruppe for Skandinava: http://groups.drupal.org/scandinavia , med kategorier for Norge, Sverige, Danmark og Finland. Men siden vi allerede har grupper på g.d.o for alle disse landene ser jeg ikke det helt store poenget i en ny felles gruppe. Hvis man har noe å si som gjelder flere land er det jo bare å kryssposte meldingene i de land-gruppene det gjelder.

De som startet Skandinaviagruppa kjente kanskje ikke til de eksiterende nordiske gruppene? Det har blitt så mange grupper at det er lett å miste oversikten. Jeg foreslår at Skandinaviagruppa legges ned, og at innleggene der (som inkluderer et spennende forslag om en nordisk samling) postes i de landene det gjelder. Da når de et mye større publikum enn i en nyetablert gruppe.


English translation, since http://groups.drupal.org/finland mentions "Discussion both in Finnish and English":

I see that a new group has appeared for Scandinavia, with categories for Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. But since we already have groups on g.d.o for all these countries I don't see much of a need for a new common group. If someone has something to say that's relevant for several countries, it's quite simple to crosspost the message in the relevant country-specific groups.

I assume that those who started the Scandinavia group didn't know about the existing nordic groups? There are so many groups now that it's difficult to find all the relevant ones. I suggest that the Scandinavia group is terminated, and that the posts there (including an interesting proposal for a nordic meet-up) are posted in the relevant country groups. Then they'll reach a much broader audience than in a newly established group.

I agree. The initiative is,

I agree. The initiative is, of course, appreciated but let's try not to confuse new users or spread our content thin over two setups.

Så absolutt

Er helt enig. Så da er det bare for alle å la være å melde seg inn!? og som du sier, konsentrere seg om de gruppene man selv ønsker å være en del av. Hvor mange norske, svenske og danske grupper er det her?

The country specific categories are the problem

I don't object to a common group for the Scandinavian countries - used only for topics covering more than one country. This is much cleaner than cross-posting and then discussing common topics in a country specific group. So I suggest remove the categories and then we'll see if there really is a need for Scandinavian group.

Vi kan väl diskutera saken

Vi kan väl diskutera saken i Szeged. Jag gillar verkligen idéen att samordna de skandinaviska användagrupperna bättre, frågan är bara hur.

I have created this 'Scandinavia' group as a discussion subject for the Szeged Viking MeetUp. The group is thought as a working ground for at possible future Scandinavian DrupalCon (or meetup).

If the project is applauded by the scandinavians at DrupalCon in Szeged, I won't delete the group ;)

I agree with Hans Nordhaug.

Maybe the the country specific categories confuses the picture of a Scandinavian group and needs to go.

That would help a lot. It would also help if you link to all the country groups somewhere on your main page. One of the things I'm worried about is if a new Scandinavian user finds this group, with a lot of empty categories and not much content, and thinks that there's no Drupal activity in his or her country at all, when there's a lot of activity in the country's own group or site(s).

Thanks :-) Just to be clear: I do think that more Nordic/Scandinavian cooperation would be a good thing, and I applaud your initiative. I hope you all have a great time in Szeged! (I'm not going, unfortunately.)
