[Imc-drupal-dev] Not all of us live in the US

[yan]

Hi folks,

although I'm not participating in the discussion I'm trying to follow
the communication on this list. This is more difficult when terms are
used that are known in a certain geografic area. One example:

I didn't know what a "503c3" is and after a quick search I found a
wikipedia article [1] from that I think I understood that it is a
"charitable, non-profit, religious, and educational organization" in US
law. It would be nice if everybody had in mind that not everybody lives
in the US and for that reason doesn't know those things. (The same
applies to tech terms sometimes.)

Writing only in english already excludes many people from the
discussions, so please have that in mind.

Best
yan
