New Home Page And Menu Structure

We have a new landing (home) page that should be much easier to navigate, with each role (New Member, Regular Member, Club Officer, etc.) having the most important and commonly used pages immediately available.

However, if you were particularly fond of the old index page, you can still find it here : https://wiki.agoraspeakers.org/About+Agora+Speakers

10 New Languages

After a lot of work, we've completed the Phase 1 of our localization effort - this includes all texts that participate in programmatically-generated parts of the wiki : evaluation cards, menus, project and role general information, etc. We've rolled out a whopping 10 languages:

• Spanish
• Czech (special thanks to Radek Bartman and his team for the translation)
• German (special thanks to Monika Graeter and her team for the translation)
• Brazilian Portuguese (special thanks to André Lins for the translations)
• Romanian ( special thanks to Gabriela Lasau for the review work)
• Nepali (special thanks to Ravi Bhattarai for the review work)
• French  (special thanks to Hélène Kemmere for the review work)
• Ukranian
• Russian
• Bulgarian

The translations won't be perfect, but it's a start. If you see anything that needs to be corrected, drop us a note at info at agoraspeakers.org.

If you're interested in helping with the translation effort - either in any of the above languages or in a new language altogether - drop us a note as well.

No Fees for Corporate and Restricted Clubs in 2021

The Agora Speakers International Foundation - thanks to its very frugal infrastructure and spending - is lucky that its financing needs are fully covered, so we can keep focusing on outreach, growth, and bringing more value to members.

To additionally help in that mission, and recognizing the difficult financial situation of many businesses due to the COVID pandemic, all fees for Corporate and Restricted clubs are waived for 2021.  This includes setup fees, so if you want to start a Corporate or Restricted club, in 2021 you can do it totally for free.

Registration Coming Soon

Member registration will be enabled soon, and membership will be required to access many parts of the wiki. This will allow us to start deploying other parts of the system such as online management of clubs, advanced educational paths, etc. that will be available to registered members only. Note that this does not imply any costs of any kind - membership in the Agora Speakrs International Foundation is and will continue to be free.
