How much traffic do the existing Italian lists get?
My first suggestion would be to create only a single list for Italian
discussions about AOO, instead of two lists. If the single list gets
too crowded, then split it into two lists later - but only split it
later if it's clear we need separate lists from the amount of traffic it
gets.
While I definitely understand the desire to have some user focus to some
of the lists (who are probably not very tolerant of lots of technical
discussions), and have a place to discuss project issues, I'm really
concerned that we're simply making more and more lists, and will end up
like OOo was with too many lists.
But that's just my suggestion, and sorry, I don't speak Italian.

The Italian OpenOffice.org community relies on mailing lists (some with
several hundreds subscribers) for user support, discussions and project
coordination. While these are a legacy asset, I see it necessary that
Apache OpenOffice provides a replacement for these lists as part of the
infrastructure migration. Depending on the situation on Oracle servers,
we might start using the new lists gradually or immediately.
For the time being, we would map the existing (12) Italian lists to
- A support list, named ooo-users-it at incubator.apache.org
- A project list, named ooo-project-it at incubator.apache.org
We will revise the list names when the project graduates; for the time
being, I propose to use the "ooo" prefix for continuity and consistency
with the existing lists, and to use "ooo-project-it" instead of
"ooo-general-it" since it is much easier to understand for us.
The three moderators of the Italian OpenOffice.org lists are available
to continue their tasks in the new infrastructure:
- Davide Dozza
- Andrea Pescetti
- Paolo Pozzan
If there are no objections to the above proposal within 72 hours, I will
invoke Lazy Consensus and will create a JIRA issue.

Andrea.
