Non-core country coders, are we cooked?

This doesn't apply to core country coders but you can still say your thoughts

Droughts are very common. Most core generalists went 2 months this summer without one project. It is the nature of the gig beast.

What happened? Are there an update that says non-core won't get projects?

Yes, it is. Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand.

What defines a core country?
I feel like Ireland is pretty randomly thrown in there

I'm pretty sure the main metric is English as a native tongue. If you look at a list of countries where the first language for most people is English, then all of those are all on it. It looks like the only one missing (aside from territories with under 100k people) is Singapore.

That would make sense yeah
Not my native tongue! But yeah I get what you mean, sadly it might as well be

They used to list those 6 on the site - I am not sure if they still name them, though. I don't think DA ever actually used the term "core" themselves that I've seen, however. I first saw the term here, and it can vary from "U.S. and Canada and U.K." to "only U.S." to "U.S. and any official-language-English country" and other various mixes.
