I suppose. But that page is on http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Local_Mailing_Lists/ so even if translated and cleaned up wouldn't suffice. The place for such a FAQ should be on http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/ and apply to all locales. Suggestions: <http://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/etiquette.html> <http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists> [Technical guidelines - in particular] http://www.openoffice.org/ml_guidelines.html And then once finalised/finalized should be posted in each mail list on a monthly basis so that list users are aware of etiquette/action/cooperation on the lists. This used to be common practice for mail lists in the past & helped resolve unnecessary posts regarding posting styles[1], etc. It's pretty hard to condem someone for top-posting, going way of topic, discussing religion, et al if there isn't a FAQ or some form of common guideline for user behaviour in the mail lists. Nor can you chastise someone for posting in the developer list regarding a valid user concern simply because you are not a developer etc. Example: If the developer list doesn't want common users posting what are considered valid user concerns (i.e., broken pre-release packages, failure to provide the same in packages that affect installed stable packages) without being insulted and chastised, then items like this should be included up front on the http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/ page as well. That said, here is a question; how can a common user be expected to possibly find http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Local_Mailing_Lists/ to begin with? I see no link on http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/ do you?
