--- Comment #3 from Rexford <[email protected]> --- Unfortunately, discussion of the need for a mailing list has not been discussed in a mailing list community. It's only a discussion among the organizing team behind the upcoming wikiindaba conference A thread of the discussions I paste below. Hi Rexford I think its a good idea to create a new list and name if "african-wikimedians" as suggested. We will need to keep up the communication channels way beyond Wikiindaba.

I also agree with asaf that for now I think we can use the mailing list of wikimedia south Africa. We can also apply for one as per the instructions below rexford | google.com/+Nkansahrexford | sent from smartphone ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "rupert THURNER" <[email protected]> Date: May 30, 2014 6:06 PM Subject: Re: Wiki Indaba Mailing List To: "Asaf Bartov" <[email protected]> Cc: "Nkansah Rexford" <[email protected]> I d suggest the same as asaf, wikimedia za seems just fine. There is quite a number of persons who do not like the complexity of too many lists. Rupert. Am 30.05.2014 16:10 schrieb "Asaf Bartov" <[email protected]>: Yes. The way to create a new mailing list on Wikimedia servers is described here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists#Create_a_new_list If a more immediate solution is sought (and if the list is not expected to be used _after_ the Indaba), you might ask attendees to subscribe to the WikimediaZA list, at least for the duration. If the list _is_ expected to continue to be used to network between African Wikimedians, perhaps the list should not be named something like Indaba, but just "african-wikimedians" or something like that, so it would more obvious for future people that it's appropriate to subscribe to.
