While they are welcome, they are typically shoveled away to another list very quickly. A multilingual space is one where English is not the principle language, and/or people are not expected to use English if they can. foundation-l *does* expect people to use English if they can. My guess is that English is not the preferred language for over 50% of the regular posters on foundation-l, and yet they use English.
