Re: User support for the debian-chinese-*
Personally I'm in favor of the merge. And I agree the decision is
really hard to be done by democracy as there is lower activity on
traditional Chinese list, and we don't want to just move on and force
them go away.
I guess making -gb and -big5 as read-only lists that convert
debian-chinese@ mails to corresponding flavors is an interesting idea as
someone already proposed. Just make it default to reply-to
debian-chinese@, and recommend using UTF-8 encodings, and then people
can just subscribe the converted lists. However, whenever a non-UTF-8
mail comes the convertion may fail, so the viability still require
further discussion. But that gives a preliminary thought to solve the
current divergence.
Though both pros and cons exist, I hope it won't be critical obstacles.
