Hi SM and Ish

Well maybe you can enlighten us :)

This would be interesting a topic... anyone ?

I think Winley is knowing what he is talking about :)

He is new on ict.io but he is an experienced e-marketer and an
entrepreneur.
The commenting system is currently restrictive. At first look, I see SM

I use basic wordpress commenting system + social login + parameters are:
You should be registered to comment. Registration is a 2 clicks process. We
have to do it like as there is no moderation and I don't want anonymous
users (or russian robots lol) saying BS on our website :)

Thank you for commenting. all opinions are most welcomed. Regarding
localized content I really hope we can have a better participation from the
community in a near future to provide more localized articles but as you
know we are just starting: project was launch 6 months ago. We are
currently publishing 8 to 10 articles per month and we are looking at
increasing the speed. If you guys want to participate your are most welcome
:)
