Hi everybody, I’m very much looking forward to the discussion.
I’d like to hear from people about the different ways in which they think language is a barrier to their becoming more involved with organizations like ROpenSci.
For instance, as Editor I have heard everything from “All I need is for people to speak a bit more slowly” to “I am worried that people won’t take my review seriously because it might have some grammatical mistakes” to “more nuanced aspects of reviews are often easier to communicate in my native language, so working with Editors that understand that language can help”.
Any thoughts?
