At the risk of sounding pessimistic, have you made an effort of counting the number of people you are ignoring/alienating on the list by this? Please don't misconstrue this as my lack of affinity for my mother tongue, but it is just that forcing it on people doesn't sound right to me. Of course, you are entitled to your view, so you needn't really care about mine. > I expect more and more people join this initiative so that ten-twenty > five years down the line we can dream the other way.. > > A decade back the situation was different and now its totally different.. If, you are using the list to carry forward any agenda other than FOSS, I wish to protest, though I can't stop or prevent you from doing this. Thanks.
