Two users within 20m....now that is concentrated! 

[Niall Saunders]

Two users within TWO metres, not twenty. If our dewshields were any longer we would get in each other's way 

And, yes, because we ARE Scottish, it did cross our minds to 'share' a commercial licence - but Juan deserved better than that  (remember, copper wire was invented by two Aberdonians fighting over a penny  )

Cheers,

Hi h0ughy,

how many Austrailian users are there now Juan?

I've answered you privately.

Dear PI-Team,

just for interest, as PI did evolve during the last 4 years ....
Can you update the installation list over countries ?

Are there any plans to translate the help system into other languages than English ?

[Carlos Milovic]

I highly doubt that there will be a translation in the short-medium term. At least, not in the 1.x cycle. Of course, this will depend on Juan's priorities...

I too was quite surprised that there are not more commercial users of PI. Maybe we need a more organized attempt to spread the word, perhaps on a country by country basis.

I see that there are some of you making presentations to various astronomy clubs and institutions. A means of sharing these with interested users might help. Maybe a common registry of available presentations.

All I can say, Juan, is that you have a very good thing going with PI, so be sure to let us know how we can be your "distributed sales team!" (And stay healthy, please!)

Hi

I know how many users there are today(I will leave it to juan to say exactly  if he feels he wants to) and it is in the thousands so things have moved on a lot

but there is still  room for many more licences to be sold and keep Juan in wine for a few years to come 

Regards

Harry

Dear PI-Community,

indeed - the main reason for asking about the number of commercial licenses was the idea of creating a native speaking
PI help community. In our astronomy club many members were fascinated about the potential of PI, but they are not all
capable of speaking english. Therefore it would be a good idea to enforce some country-by-country based activities.
I am currently more interested in a "rounded" number of licenses of german speaking countries (i.e. Germany,
Austria and Switzerland) - and not in any business secrets

Hi
Some friends of mine are really impressed by the results of PI; but as they can't read or speak english, they use other programs. I think, an important part of learning PI are all the tutorials you can find amongst others on the forum - and most of them are also in english. So, beside the program itself, there should also be some good tutorials in different languages. Gerald did already an excellent work, but is Harry be willing in taking some language courses  ?

Maybe it is time now to create language specific sub-forums. This is what also happens in other forums once their is a critical mass of users. But the decision on this is up to Juan.

I dont like the idea of tranlating PI, documentation and tutorials into other languages. Maybe once the product is reasonably well documented in english, i.e. really soon now

Hi all you Pixinsight Pixies out there,

i am really astonished about the fact that there are so few commercial users worldwide.
Maybe one of the reasons is that there are so many PS users. These people do get very
good results with their workflow and man is too lazy to take the steep road for another
way. I was never comfortable with PS and so my decision to move to PI was easy.
I like the software concept and the object orientated approach and much more i like this community
here. So i am going to offer all of you a

It is very easy to translate PI documentation:

Tool documentation not available -> La documentation de l'outil n'est pas disponible.

Voilà. 85% done.

Joke apart, in french there is a site http://pixinsight.fr/ maintained by Philippe Bernhard and also good tutorial the site http://www.astro-images-processing.fr/ (members only). PixInsight is sometime discussed in various forums.

May be there should be a sticky note to point on the most useful language specific information on PI.
