Communities in China are getting interested in the Nook Color. There are various forums and chat groups forming.
Whether it is just for information sharing, or exports, here are some of the groups.
I'm told they are looking for someone with both Chinese and English proficiency to help with end-user support, development, etc. Just like the way xda, mobileread, and other forums are.

This is great news. The Nook Color is attractive everywhere in the world because of its price vs raw power. The NC is my first Android device so I'm of no help unfortunately.
Specifically looking for people with experience in localization.
With AOSP source, this wouldn't be an issue though.
G'day guys
I've started a Wiki page for the Nook Color. This can be used as a good reference for any handy information you find on the Nook Color.
If anyone has more useful information to add, please feel free, as long as you follow the same formatting as other wiki pages, and you know what you are doing
Nook Color Wiki
Not sure if anyone has posted this. This morning on slashdot there was an article about which android tablets were GPL compliant.
Here is the article:

Interesting thing is that Barnes and Noble has published the Linux source for both the Nook and Nook Color.
Here is the link to the source.

Interesting write-up and lots of discussion.
Expect new folks to be signing up here.
Wrong Forum.
This is the development forum, you want the Nook General Forum.
And typical of Engadget, there are more than a few dumbfuck commenters.
I've read all the reviews at least the ones in English, this one by far, the one that catches the essence of the Nexus program, if it wasn't the only one.

A good read, though.
Thoroughly enjoyed that.
Thanks for posting.
That's a great review of this beast! Also, I just read Android Central's review, which was also great if not better than this. I liked how it stated the known drawbacks that are concerns for certain customers, and how they can just buy another android phone. Here's the link:

Also has a great walkthrough video.
Like that review! Cool
Refreshing review after all of the other bias ones
