Subject caught my eye, but I don't recognize the thread ... sorry ...
... what are ppl looking for here? what do you mean by 'local mailing
lists'? in various languages? if so, definitely doable, but, for
moderating purposes, will need ppl that can read those languages to
volunteer and moderate those lists, since I'll never know whether its spam
or pertinent to the list :)

I run FreeLists (http://www.freelists.org) -- do let me know if there's
anything we can do for you by means of hosting, etc.

Could be hosted on postgresql.org or maybe add aliases for local stuff like
si.postgresql.org for Slovene version, etc?
Would be nice to have uniform names so one can easily find local versions
of information.
Tomaz
p.s.
Currently I see pgsql stuff in local linux user group lists, but would be
nice to have something more dedicated. Marc , what do you think?

Right. That kind of mailing lists should be managed by native
speakers.

Actually "Japan PostgreSQL usrs' Group" (established in 1997) obtained
a subdmain jp.postgresql.org (Thanks Marc for handling that!) The
local users' group has a mailing list but it's currently for group
members only to discuss on non-techinial issues such as attending
local conferences, having private seminars etc.
Right now a mailing list for discussion on technical issues exists in
Japan (managed by me), but served by a contribution from a commercial
company in Japan. There is a plan moving the list to
jp.postgresql.org. Or should we move the list to postgresq.org?
It has over 4000 subscribers, but the traffic is low (+5 per day).
