OroCommerce Serbian Cyrillic Translation - Part 14 (~1018 words) by Hive account@scienceangel [translations]

The translator has done an excellent job in the translation, creating a result free of all errors. In addition, Hive account@scienceangel wrote a most engaging post on the project’s progress. As noted by the moderator, she gave a lot of information on the 'Quirks and features' that can be found in the Serbian language and all Slavic languages. Well Done!

Welcome "Knackstore" and "Knacktokens" to Knacksteem! by Hive account@knacksteem.org [blog]

Knacksteem is a fascinating dApp, which we have been following since its inception with great interest, especially as it was created by our very own Community Manager Hive account@knowledges. This is a huge update to the dApp, with the announcement of their upcoming tokens and store (or Knacktokens and Knackstore, as they call them). They also have an ICO and an Airdrop in store. While we feel the writing could be stronger, this is such an impactful update, that it was a natural selection as our weekly staff pick.
