I think those high level discussion can take place either on-wiki or on existing mailing lists without a problem. Discussing specific disputes tends to annoy people on the existing mailing lists and it doesn't make sense to discuss mailing list disputes on-wiki, so the obvious answer seems to be a separate mailing list (or several, divided up by language, I don't know if the non-English lists have a problem needing this solution or not). I think it being a low traffic list would be a good thing - the moderators would all have to be there and a few mailing list regulars would sign up to keep an eye on things and disputes could hopefully be resolved with a minimum of drama. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
