Jean Christophe André écrivait :
Now the lists *usage* should change accordingly, as follow:
- the original <hanoilug@lists.hanoilug.org> mailing-list won't change
(we won't touch any subscription) except that it will now become a
national language (= Vietnamese) only mailing-list;
- <hanoilug-engl...@lists.hanoilug.org> is an English language only
mailing-list;
- <hanoilug-fre...@lists.hanoilug.org> is an French language only
mailing-list;
- cross-posting (eg: to announce some event) to multiple language
dedicated mailing-lists is allowed as long as the message contains
*all* the corresponding translations;
- any message received on one list in the “wrong” language (eg: in
English or French on the old “hanoilug” list) shall be *politely*
redirected to the right mailing-list, through a *private* answer to
the original sender (please, please, please, do not reply on the list!).
Since multiple people have already expressed their concern about
changing this mailing-list current rules (which I mostly disagree, but
also respect) let's start by *not changing anything about this
mailing-list* and see how the others two will evolve.
So the new rules would be as follow:
- <hanoilug@lists.hanoilug.org> doesn't change in any way, let's just
continue using it the same way as before => there is no "-vietnamese" on
it, so it stays “unlocalized”;
- <hanoilug-engl...@lists.hanoilug.org> is for English messages only;
- <hanoilug-fre...@lists.hanoilug.org> is for French messages only;
- cross-posting are allowed as long as they respects these conditions;
- any message received on one list in the “wrong” language (eg: in
Vietnamese on the “hanoilug-english” or “hanoilug-french” mailing-lists)
shall be *politely* redirected to the right mailing-list, through a
*private* answer to the original sender (please, please, please, do not
reply on the list!).
There is 2 other ideas we would like to discuss:
- N.H.Quang suggested that we could let all posts to "hanoilug-english"
be additionnaly re-sent (automatically) to "hanoilug" so that the
discussions in English will still be followed by all "hanoilug"
subscribers; technically it would as simple as just subscribing the
"hanoilug" mailing-list to "hanoilug-english";
- I also suggest the creation of a low traffic, broadcast only (no
discussion, no reply, posts moderated), "hanoilug-announce"
mailing-list, exclusively in English (with accompagning
translations allowed, of course), which would be very useful for people
who want to keep informed about HanoiLUG activities (and only that, no
advertisement for other unrelated activities on this list) without
participating all the discussions around them.
Again, there is no presure in these changes. We are only trying to make
it easier and more open to people who don't want to get “spammed” by
messages in some language they can't read (or don't have the time for it).
Cheers, J.C.
