Dear Max, Andrew, Changwoo and others,

Thanks for the note.

Max's suggested a good point. But, I evaluate that changing language
setting can't be a catalyst of bringing the Korean speaking members.

As a local resident Korean, I suspect there two major reasons why Korean
speaking members can't join Talk-ko list.
First, there is no self-rewarding motivation to actively work for
OpenStreetMap itself. Since there are premium level of freely available
maps like Naver and Daum-Kakao, spending anyone's time and efforts only to
make a second or third level map don't move people to activate their
passion. This is the main reason many Koreans are indifferent to OSM.
Second, even among the selected Korean speaking members of OSM, they feel
language barrier to join the actual conversations. (The mailman interface
is just a peanut.)

In summary, though the mailman interface in Korean can't dramatically
change the situation of few Korean speaking members, it may help to provide
friendly environment for those who come to familiarize Talk-ko.

Respecting all your efforts,
