There is a very long list of brands and typical person will be familiar with only part of them. For example I can relatively easily to spot issues in brands that are active in Poland (or ask family), but I lack any local knowledge for example for Japanese brands.

I made a small script that can automatically detect issues in name-suggestion-index that are present for brands in a specific country.

At this moment I am looking through ones in Poland and post to this issue tracker about Russia with ping to person familiar with local situation.

See for example #2584 where I summoned local expert with ( using @ syntax - see https://github.blog/2011-03-23-mention-somebody-they-re-notified/ )

If there are other people who would be happy to answer questions about local situation in their country (or countries) - please comment in this issue and list relevant countries.

I’m a local expert on the U.S., which isn’t saying much. 😉 Aside from that, I’m not from Vietnam but I do speak Vietnamese, so I can help w/ research there as well.

Thanks everybody! Some issues were already created (and fixed!) but there are still many regions where there some obvious local check waiting.


For example Switzerland, Ukraine, Indonesia, South Korea, South Korea, Mexico, Austria, Spain, Taiwan, Israel, Ivory Coast, Croatia and more have known issues requiring local knowledge/research{1} and I may create tickets once there is someone likely to answer them.

If anyone has local knowledge (in some cases local language may be sufficient) then you are welcomed here!

Just answering questions like at #2648 is enough. PR itself may be done by someone else/ Though there is obviously nothing wrong with answering by making a PR! There is no shortage of things that may be improved.

{1} this list applies to problems reported by npm run build and localized within a single country.

I can help with Indonesia and Singapore. I also have a little knowledge of Malaysia and Thailand, and I can speak Malay (a.k.a Malaysian, a.k.a Indonesian).

I can read Spanish, although my knowledge of Mexico, Central and South America is years out of date.

Thanks for all the offers to help!

The best way to contribute to this project is to browse through the index at https://nsi.guide and let us know about anything that looks wrong or is missing.

Has anybody, anywhere, ever been approached to help with this idea?

Yes @Fizzie41, at least one. See the initial text of the issue saying:

See for example #2584 where I summoned local expert with ( using @ syntax [...]

Now, how many people have been contacted (and whether that number significantly bigger than 1) is another question. (searching for "expert" in issues here gives few dozen issues, but I'm not going to examine them for the sake of gathering stats...)
