[Live-demo] Should we create an OSGeo-Live translators email list?

OSGeo-Live translators,

Over a number of months Vicky and Nicholas have been setting up a 
Transifex for OSGeo-Live which looks like it is going to be hugely 
valuable for the OSGeo-Live translation effort. They are now reaching 
the point where they are ready to start talking about it with OSGeo-Live 
translators and we would really like to hear the opinions of OSGeo-Live 
translators.

If you are not subscribed to our list, it would be great if you could 
subscribe, and then check emails on this list at least for the next few 
weeks:

The first question we are asking is whether a separate OSGeo-Live 
translation email list should be set up. What do you think? We've had 
the following comments so far:
