Should the Centos Mailing List diversify into non-English language versions ? For example, Chinese (which version?) , Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian etc. etc. ?
For example: chinese@centos.org
Personally I think that would dilute the effectiveness of the mailing list as a community support channel if everybody only post to and/or follow their own language list. If they have to duplicate following/posting to the main list, there isn't really any difference from the status quo is there?
Also, I think (no data, pure speculation) most admins by virtue of the job tend to pick up functional English along the way so having language-specific mailing list may not be that useful?
