Of course.
Mailinglists will get setup on request. Im not going to setup mailinglists with one or less subscribers. I need to think of an request mechanism but it will probably be a mail address.
Also makes sense, but be sure to have the information on the wiki that additional language lists can be set up.
Yes. This should go to the corresponding Communicate page of the language wiki.
Comments?
Seems fine, only things I thought about were:
1) Why doen't we have a language marker for the default? That would make things more consistent, and if somebody sees a list full of DE, CN, FR mailing lists and starts searching for EN they are going to be out of luck - although most people probably aren't that dumb. Also stops any question of English elitism, unless you are proposing the default groups are in German, or Flemish (hi houghi ;-P).
That would make things easier for a small percentage of people and harder for most.
2) This would also allow for <language>-<project>-<topic>@domain.tld, this way all the groups for a language could be grouped together when listed.
No need to. LanguageX mailinglists should not show up in the languageY Communicate page. So they will be gouped by language anyway without representing that in the name.
would, IMHO make a little more sense, somebody who is subscribing to French groups can quickly see by the prefix what language they are, not have to search for every project/topic and then find the French version thereof... This would also keep it semi-consistent with usenet naming, where language/country specific groups are listed with that languages/country's prefix (E.g. es.comp.misc, es.comp.programas etc.).
And go totally contrary to how mailinglists are usually set up. Im against it. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, http://hennevogel.de "To die. In the rain. Alone." Ernest Hemingway
