Could you elaborate on how much is "too many"?
One. Pouzin is tilting at windmills. Whatever his agenda is, he's acting
like a crying baby (or a politician) and expecting to get back some
visibility by putting the blame on the IETF, (as we all know a
subversive agent of the "Great Satan" the US). I'm with Stephane here:
I'm allergic to BS. And I'm with Jorge too: instead of whining, do
something.
Why not having standard bodies operating in Basque or Catalan (two minor
dialects in the South of France) while we're at it? This is ridiculous.
Recently on the FRnOG mailing list we had another troll whining about
the RIPE-NCC documents being in English. I say to both: get a life.
There is nothing more global than the Internet, and whether you like it
or not the language is English. Adapt or go do something else.
The current de facto standard on Internet is English yes. That might change
given time, like 10+ years.
What I personal is very sure of is that it will not changed to Norwegian
(where I'm from), or any other European language.
If it was to change it was because there was a major amount of users,
tech companies, infrastructure and activity using that language. Not to
forget backing of real money and investments. Europa don't have that,
USA alone match our size in amount of Internet users, not to forget
that we do not have just one language here, we have many.
Take a wild guess what language that might get some of that in near
future (10-20years). China.
