Well, given my more less uni-lingual status, I would definitely support development being in English. For better or worse it remains the common language, and good localisation design makes it easy to build interfaces and documentation in other languages.

More importantly, development in English would make it easier for me to contribute resource towards development!

Hi Cèsar,
I hope that in a near future will be possible to unify developer lists
(Spanish and international) I don't think that for developers  it's a
problem  to wrote in English,  at worst  they will wrote ill-formed like me
;)
What does the lists and gvSIG boys think about this possibility?
Best regards

Simone
