Yes, I completely understand both points you make. I know from first hand experience that it's possible to coach a team that works in the same room to use a mailing list to communicate. I don't have a simple answer for the English barrier. Perhaps it is sufficient for just enough communication (in English) to happen on the mailing list to give people who are NOT in the same room an understanding of the decisions being made and direction the project is taking. This is a real challenge for the bluesky team, but you must overcome this challenge to succeed at the ASF. Bill
