Re: User support for the debian-chinese-*

Dear All,

My opinion is to reopen [email protected] to use utf8 or
to open another mailing list, named as
[email protected]
Keep [email protected] and
[email protected] for their local users.
Then use traditional chinese in [email protected]
and use simplified chinese in [email protected].
Use both of traditional and simplified chinese in
[email protected]/[email protected]

$4
