I don't feel it makes sense to expand the list to include Africa.  Though members of the African community are welcome to join in and contribute to the discussions, but our on-topic discussions should only relate to Asia and Australasia.

Just my $0.02,

This list is much quieter, believe us.  But do expect a lot of Asia-specific discussion on this list. ;)

Hi Siska,

An interesting idea. To be honest, my inbox has become a disaster area since I joined Chapters, Internal, etc. but on the other hand, this would probably be a good source of information for us.

What's the noise and flame level like in the Asia list?

Thanks,

David

Hi all,
I would suggest a bold move - (and whoever make this list will probably hate me for it) - to replace this Asia list to Asia-Australia-Africa list. I think a lot of group to chapters are facing similar issues and best to share. Also whether you realize it or not, WMID itself are having serious regeneration issue back in 2010, which we handle quite well fortunately and things are showing sign of progressing in early 2012 for the effort we done back in 2010. This kind of list will help bumping anyone who cares to someone "known" regionally in addition to locally.

Unfortunately I couldn't think of a catchy tag for this new list. (Ok to be honest I thought of "ASS" but that would be inappropriate)

The new list should be open to *any* chapter members and *volunteer group* (like Kansai, Kazakhtan, Korea ) without chapters - or even without group (soloist because their wikipedia only have two editors - for example) who would like to be active in projects and governance or in replying and reading a lot of English *erk*

Any takers? WMID member would be happy to organize the list and start inviting.

Thoughts?
