> It looks like we removed the public-i18n-cjk mailing list. Are we going to abandon it, @r12a? As i remember it, the jlreq group created the public-i18n-japanese list because they didn't want to use the public-i18n-cjk list. As far as the jlreq group is concerned, i think the public-i18n-cjk list is now irrelevant. However, since that time i have been thinking that we should also consider value of having the cjk list when most japanese folks will not be following it, or will be getting duplicate daily notifications if they do. That cjk list was originally set up to allow cross-fertilization of ideas that are common to all groups, such as aspects of vertical text or ruby, but the discussions it actually hosts are, i think, in fact language-specific most of the time, and therefore too distracting to korean people who are not interested in chinese-specific or chinese people not interested in korean-specific topics. There are other ways we can produce the cross-fertilization, as in fact we currently have to anyway for mongolian, which also has related vertical text and ruby interests. It seems to me that, because the jlreq and clreq groups are very active, it would probably be better to create public-i18n-chinese, and public-i18n-korean lists and no longer use the public-i18n-cjk list. That said, the charters of each group should probably mention that the public-i18n-cjk archive contains some historical discussions that may be of interest, while clearly indicating that it is not currently used. -- GitHub Notification of comment by r12a Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/jlreq/pull/258#issuecomment-813968896 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
