I've opened a JIRA issue with Infra for this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-5006 Although most preferred the "l10n" name for the list, I agree with Dave that it can easily be misread as a number "1" rather than the letter "l". So when we communicate the name, on the website or in emails, let's try to write it as "ooo-L10n" to reduce confusion. -Rob > I'll volunteer to be one of the list moderators.
