[ubuntu-uk] Scope of ubuntu-uk?

[David Marsh's listreading hat]

[This is a copy of a message that I earlier sent to the international
ubuntu-users list a few days ago, before joining the ubuntu-uk list. 

Does anybody have any comments on my feelings that the list also serving
as a more local 'support' list would be useful as the international list
is now pretty much too big to follow easily?]

Good stuff :-)

I'd be quite keen on a UK "native language support" (heh[1]) list, as I
find it hard to keep up with busy international lists such as this one..


[1] ..with apologies to speakers of the non-English UK native languages,
although I guess appropriate lists might also be useful for them
(I suspect that the union of 'Linux users' and
'monolingual Gaelic/Gaelic/Welsh/Cornish/Manx speakers' is the empty
set, however ;-)
