Well according to WCA journal on meta, I can see name of regional coordinators for French-speaking countries and Spanish-speaking countries.
Other point, Charles mentioned 'in the language he prefer'. If a coordinator can not understand the language, then how can he know that it was a cry for help related to 'exchange'?
Bengali is official language for Bangladesh (first language), West Bengal (state of India), Assam (state of India), Tripura (state of India) and Sierra Leone with 205 million+ native speakers.
I leaving it to WCA exchange team to decide. And as I do build websites for living and a fanboy of Linux, I would be happy to help on the related technical issues as well.

I presume this is for the entire region, as there is one coordinator for the CEE group and one for Iberocoop. There can be one coordinator who forwards everything to this list, and then from here people can translate things if necessary.

Hi Charles,
I have a question. Will there be 'one' representative for whole Asia region or 'one' coordinator per major languages spoken in Asia? You know a wide variety of languages are spoken throughout this region and knowing all those languages for one person is virtually an impossibility.
If you meant 'one' coordinator per language, then I would be happy to lend a hand for Bengali.
Regards,

Dear all,
I took the lead of the "exchange" team of the WCA. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Chapters_Association/Journal/2013_M...
This team aim to facilitate exchange of service (like website hosting, documentation template exchange, etc.) between chapters and chapters to be.
Even if this team has been created within the WCA, its scope is not restricted to chapters members of the association.
To help me is this task, I'm looking for a regional coordinator from the Asian Chapters mailing list.
The basic idea is that a chapters looking for anything can ask on the mailing list he like to use and in the language he prefer, like this the coordinator will just transmit to the rest of the Exchange team the request, and each other coordinator will assure the transfer to the other linguistic or thematic mailing list.
I hope you will like the idea and join me!
Sincerely
Charles
