If this is so, but then it's not the "de" (in "dev-de@") which disturbs, but the "dev". Or not? If that is so, but then would be your proposal "project-de@" OK, because no one will "project" with "dev" confused. > Just make clear (e.g., here: > http://openoffice.apache.org/native-lang.html or ) that it is used to > coordinate the work in German-speaking countries, then it > should be fine. Yes, true, but how do we do that? You mean the "dev" disturbs and Rob says the "de" disturbing. What the really bothering you? For me, every name OK featuring that it comes to a list is where we coordinate the local work and this list is in German. One small problem is the "german" should not be part of the name, because "german" discriminates against the Swiss and Austrians. Because Rob "project-de@" is not good, I had now proposed "local-de-team@" or "de-team@" (using Rob's word proposal "team"), for me would be OK. *Would "local-de-team@" or "de-team@" a suitable compromise?* Please understand that I'm just trying to consider *all* views. For me "local-german-project@" or "german-project@" (for example) would also possible, but I give Rob right, there is no "German Project" and therefore we should not use these names.
