I think that the international support should be only with the languages that wedgers and staff knows, not ALL because you don't know the size which might or might not have...

The reason there are only 37 Wedge friends on FB now is that people still don't know about Wedge, the product.
I'd also add the the number of likes there means absolutely nothing at this point. There are folk like me that like most if not all of what I've read but I haven't made it over to the FB page, so that's not a reflection of how I feel about Wedge (that's just me being too lazy to click a button that's right in front of me). Also, until users are able to test Wedge, there's no way for them to really gauge how the truly feel about it.

They did some serious marketing work, and that's why vB wanted them dead. (Just like some of the SMF top heads want us dead. Except we didn't do any marketing, we just, ahem, added a link to a signature...)
Once they see the end product, I am sure you dont need to hire PR company to spread the word.
(I have nothing against objectivism, but I certainly don't regard free work as slavery/exploitation as long as I feel I'm not wasting my time and I consider the benefits to my soul are on par with the effort invested. Otherwise I wouldn't be working on Wedge.)
What was I saying? Ah yes... It'll have to be word-of-mouth, yeah, like everything I did in my life.
Some of us noobs with no technical skills are roaming and salivating in the background to spread the word once we get to taste the "forbidden" fruit[1].
1. SMF is trying its best, some might say its worst, to erase all references to Wedge. I'll bet you a Euro, they will fail as soon as Wedge appears on the scene
If the product is good, which without a doubt Wedge will be, people will flock to it.
If it were true, Noisen.com would have a thousand blogs by now (at least). I haven't seen anyone new create a blog over there in the last year.
Some things require more than quality to become success stories.
People can very well settle on mediocrity if they never actually heard of anything better than what they know. How do you think Microsoft managed to sell Windows 95 back in the day when better OSes were already out at the time? :P
Who were the people responsible for some of the most popular mods that drove traffic to SMF in 2009/2010/2011?
No you are not in the same league as SMF. You are going to probably going to be in a super league of your own before you know it :eheh:
Although, price-wise and if we don't consider mods --- we completely blow the competition in terms of features and modernity, yeah, that's for sure.

What can those that don't know that much do to help? Is there SMF code guides or something? Not being a smartass genuinely asking.

There are very few guides on SMF's code, and to be honest, between us we know it better than what guides there are (especially as two or three of the guides out there were actually written by me anyway)
Right now, not a lot, because it's still forming - but once we get closer to something we can release, it'll be a case of testing, seeing what works for people, what doesn't work for people and general feedback on that sort of thing.

When we unite against a common enemy that attacks our ethos, it nurtures group solidarity. Trolls are sensational, yes, but we keep everyone honest. | Game Memorial

I'd like to get the big majority of our feature list to reach 99% or more before I even think of doing something other than programming... ;)
