the bug for the record.]

We currently have a Yahoo group
(http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/DebianIndia/) for bringing new
people to Debian. This list has been around since 2005. There was a
suggestion to move from Yahoo groups and host it on debian list
servers (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/DebianIndia/message/486).
I fully endorse this idea. It will help integrate Indian Debianists into
the mainstream and increase the visibility of our efforts to the rest of
the project.
Can we get 'DebianIndia' on lists.debian.org? Second choices are
debian-india or debian-mentors-india.
I suggested debian-user-indian because
1. That seems to be the naming pattern for other local lists
2. Although for sometime Debian will primarily be of interest to
developers, we have some end users too. Even developers need tech
support sometimes!
3. Mentoring is important but we want people to be aware there are other
ways to contribute to Debian besides package maintenance.
My "be paisa" anyway.
