[CentOS] Translate Centos Release Notes into your own non-English Language
Centos 6.0 Release Notes are here http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.0 Volunteers whose native (or first language) is not English are invited to translate the Release Notes into their own language. There are probably other useful translation tasks to make Centos understandable to people all around the world. Should the Centos Mailing List diversify into non-English language versions ? For example, Chinese (which version?) , Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian etc. etc. ? For example: chinese at centos.org -- With best regards, Paul. England, EU.

If they have to duplicate following/posting to the main list, there isn't really any difference from the status quo is there? Also, I think (no data, pure speculation) most admins by virtue of the job tend to pick up functional English along the way so having language-specific mailing list may not be that useful?
