English-language list, to
discuss the English Wikipedia, is welcome. All others are still free to post
to wikipedia-l which will remain unmoderated. Those who like their scum or
slush or whatever unfiltered will still get plenty this way.
What could possibly be wrong with such an experiment?
What could be wrong is described in your big paragraph above.
People may well go to <wikipedia-l> to discuss [[en:]] specifically,
which is not what <wikipedia-l> is for -- we already have enough problems.
I am about to make a post in which I consent to trying this experiment,
but I think it would work best to combine it with an outlet
that sends out an unfiltered version of <wikien-l> --
the Gmane idea sounds like it would work for this.
We don't need to increase the [[en:]] on <wikipedia-l>.
