Hi Isarra and Gergo,
Thanks very much for the feedback.
I appreciate the suggestion about a poll. I have been reluctant to start a
poll about this because I have several other issues that are occupying my

Thanks for the civil comments.
I think that language diversity valuable, and there is no requirement to
post in English to this list.
Although I appreciate the idea, I am unwilling to create a more narrowly
focused version of these threads for Wikitech-l. Someone else might be

I personally think these threads are fine (within reason) if they are
