So from now on we decide that posting messages in french on this list is
possible, even encouraged (the same is true for other languages too).

those who are able to answer (technically speaking) can answer in french
(same for other languages).

english remains the main language on the list, and the common one. given
this, it is highly encouraged that people who are able to do it summarize
and translate interesting french threads in english, so as the main part of
the subscribers can benefit of its contents (same for other languages).

the only limit (mainly due to legacy mail systems) is that, whatever the
language is, only the good old standard ascii characters may be used. no
accented, no diacritical signs, aso (until every mailer is unicode
compliant !) to ensure a worldwide readability.

i read several list charters, none imposes the use of english nor it
forbids the use of other languages.

so who agrees ? who disagrees ?

i heard it a while ago, i remembered it. this was said to be an old
chineese proverb, but i'm not quite sure about that. 

et le bonjour a tout le monde ;-)
