Which is what I said, I thought.
I don't think I've ever run into a situation like this before: where
I have a number of people with a specific technical area who wish to
form a group, the aims of which (to encourage women in this area and
mentor them into the main arena) fit with the main group, and my
requests on the list for information about setting it up only receive
disagreement.
I've come here asking for help with the technical matter of setting
up the list. If it really doesn't fit with the aims of D-W (and I
thought it did), then I'll need to do it elsewhere. This might in the
end be more appropriate, since the translation arena covers several
projects, not just Debian, but this seemed to me to be the logical
place to do it, where the aims match.
If it turns out that this group doesn't meet the needs of its
members, it will disappear on its own. Why not find out?
