Dear All We are discussing the matter about one week. We have to reach in some conclusion. My comment on topic is 1) There is no need for a language tag. Because when somebody sends a Tamil mail the subject line will be also in Tamil. So if some body see a Tamil(or even any non-English subject) he or she can ignore if he/she is not able to read it. We are much bothered about freedom 2) Providing translation for the mail - If the original author of non-English mail provided translation somebody can volunteer to translate it. 3) I am not seeing any relevancy for a Language specific mailing list under the roof of ILIGC. Any how we will be talking about same techno-philosophical matters related to FOSS. 4) I am a non Tamil Speaker, still the Tamil mails are not at all annoying me. With my limited Tamil reading skill I may try to read and understand it time permits. Otherwise I may ignore it; like a topic which is not interesting to me or totally unknown to me (I think most people will do the same). So what I feels is that - creating a new mailing list guidelines is not required. 5) I have seen that Malayalam mails are appearing in the Kerala based FOSS mailing list. Many non malayalaees are there in the list. Still I didn't saw any such complaints in the mailing list, or arguments for a Malayalam tag. 6) If we increase tags what will happen if somebody says taht I am not interested to read "technology X" and "technology Y" related mails and the authors are requested to tage the mails with [technology X] and [technology Y] tag?
