At the moment, I can't give you a real definition of "international."
Because the store has changed hands, we are working on creating a more
cohesive strategy for accomplishing some of the shop's major goals, such as
institutionalizing the giveaways program to ensure community members are
being awarded on a consistent basis for their work. This is just one
example of the many small facets of the store that need greater planning
before we expand its scope internationally. Conducting an international
campaign would certainly be done in conjunction with creating multi-lingual
iterations of the store, which we will move toward in the coming year.

Thanks! I've registered an cc'd and will get more involved in the
conversation as our plan surrounding internationalizing the store develops.
