We are on schedule to have the full site operational before August first. / Le développement et la traductions du site vont bon train. Nous espérons avoir fini le développement d'ici le premier août, 2009.

  • We have completed the first national listing of Canadian Farmers Markets. Almost 400 are active on line, using the best public information we could acquire. We know of another 150, for which we have no information. Many of these may no longer be in existence, so we await user input to include them. Please let us know of any markets which we have not yet included.
  • Listings are now active. We had some late issues integrating the site with the payment gateway, which are now resolved. Those who tried to take advantage of the opening special will be able to register now.
  • This forum, our recipes, and our events listings are now active and we encourge our users to participate, and to make sure that any local fairs or fundraisers open to the public get listed in the calendar.
  • Our classified ads section should be running within the next week.
  • We are actively working to translate the site into French. Right now we are working on a few key pages, and the menus and help text. It is a large task, and we are about 65% complete. (Yes the percentage has dropped, but the amount of work has also more than doubled in that time.) We hope to have both official languages up and running by the end of the summer. The language switcher above the menu is active, because we need to switch the site between the languages to do the translations. Please use the English option to see the full site.

  • Nous avons compiler la premier liste nationale de marché publique au Canada obtenu d'information publiquement disponible. La liste comprend presque 400 locations. On sait qu'il y a approximativement 150 autre marchés pour lesquels nous n'avons pu trouver aucun détaille. Il est possible que certain de ces marché soit fermer ou déplacer. Si vous avez de l'information concernant la location d'un de ces marché, faites nous parvenir les coordonnées et nous ajouterons a la liste.
  • Les affiche sont maintenant fonctionnelle. Nous avions eu des problèmes d'incorporation entre le site et le portail de payement. Ses problèmes sont maintenant résolut. Ceux d'entre vous qui voulais prendre avantage du prix de lancement peuvent le faire
  • Ce forum, nos recettes, et nos listes d'événements sont maintenant en activité et nous encourage nos utilisateurs à participer et de s'assurer que le foires et collecte de fonds publique sont ajouter au calendrier d'évènement.
  • Notre section d'annonces classées devrait fonctionner d'ici la semaine prochaine.
  • Nous travaillons activement sur la traduire le site en Français. En ce moment nous traduisons les pages principales, menus et les texte d'aide. C'est une tâche difficile mais nous avons 65% du site traduits. (Le pourcentage a chuté, mais le contenue su site a presque doublé.) Le sélecteur de langue au haut de la page fonctionne, mais tout les contenues ne sont pas encore disponible en Français. Nous espérons avoir les deux langues officielles en service vers la fin de l'été.

We are making progress on

We are making progress on the translation of the site into french. Most of the menus and titles have been completed, and some content. The translation of our taxonomy section is essentially complete.

Our language policy will be simple. User postings will be published as posted. We encourage our users to include both official languages as far as they are able. We will not be providing translations of user posts.

We will translate any content giving instructions on the use of the site, and we will be trying to provide complete site navigation in the language of your choice. However, language-specific pages will not be provided for listings. We also caution those who publish content on our site to leave the language selector on their submission page blank. If the page is submitted as language-specific content, it will not display unless the user has chosen that language.

Great site, well laid out

I used your site a couple of weeks ago while playing tourist in Quebec city. I used the map to find the my way to the market on the old port. There was a lot of activity and I had a lot of fun. This is site a great tool, and I hope to participate from time to time.

I did have a question someone out there could answer. Could someone place what is in season in the events calendar? I never know when to expect fresh corn or apples etc.
