I was late to the announcement so I couldn't read the details but from what I've gathered there will be a PR representative that will help organize and translate development news which has been needed for quite some time IMO.
I think the small fish in China has been asking for this too . Just got ignored .
I agree. BitShares is a decentralized autonomous community but we live in separate camps on the forum because of the translation barrier. Everything is transparent which is wonderful but it's unorganized and difficult to follow for those that don't speak English or don't live on GitHub. We need the international community to come together and I think this is a positive step towards that direction and I see this PR position as being
very beneficial (and much needed) if done properly.
