First of all, my apologies for not being a good mentor for your project. Too many demands on too little time. But I'm starting to resurface.

There are no hard and fast rules about this other than the main dev list much be in English. That is the list where most decisions about the future of the project can occur. We generally discourage non-english dev lists as they serve to split the community. However, a case could be made for supporting such. Non-english user lists are not so much of a problem if there are sufficient users demanding them. One needs to be cautious about creating them as, again, you are splitting the community. But for users it can sometimes help. > But I've heard that using Non-English List is not allowed on Apache > Infrastructure. Is that true? No, see above.

OpenOffice.org has 100+ non-english lists, but Apache OpenOffice has, at this point in time, just one or two non-english user lists. They are being created as the user community comes forwards and demonstrates a need for them. In the case of your Spanish list, which appears to be a user list, I see it is quite active. Sop, personally, I don't see a problem as long as all discussions that relate to the development of OpenMeetings happen on the English language dev list.
