Well, I don't feel the main list being so overloaded as a split
would be necessary, but nonetheless your arguments regarding new
and prospective Midgard users make a valid point.

Well, I guess the system would establish itself, without anyone
having the time to translate other peoples requests.

Well, at least it should be no problem to configure another
mailinglist on the current list server (Ron, Armand, Emile?);
otherwise we could provide list hosting. 

After all, I'm neither for or against a German list, though I'd
value the benefits for new people a bit higher than the
potential loss for the international community...
