OK. Any strong objections to changing the list name and scope (the
latter being the description at
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l ) to be
all-encompassing for Wikimedia-wide issues?
The rename would likely occur by unsubscribing current members from
this list and re-subscribing them to the new one, to avoid breaking
links or accidentally corrupting archives -- meaning that list
archives pre-move would be accessible via a different URL, which could
be prominently advertised in the list description.
I do think many discussions can be moved from
internal-l to this list;
and on occasion people have suggested that foundation-l is a less
suitable place for an otherwise public discussion simply because the
name seems exclusive to the WMF.
Agreed -- creating a forum that feels welcoming to everyone,
regardless of their specific affiliations, is one of my strongest
motivations here.
