I believe you need to file a bug for this Ashwin. If you want, I can file it for you and get someone to close the request.<div><br></div><div>Are you sure about the title? I would suggest something like WikiIndia-events or Wikimediaindia-events list. So that it doesn&#39;t become useless after the event and can be re-used for coordinating future events. The naming convention for the list also depends on country codes and previous naming convention, Wikimediaindia-events would be a sub-list of Wikimediaindia-l.</div>

I&#39;m writing formally to you to request for a list for that event; a request which you may have already received informally from Shiju Alex.</div>

<div><br></div><div>The event will definitely be taking place on 18-20 November 2011 at Mumbai and we have already requested Jimbo&#39;s presence at the event (as an example of the event&#39;s firming up).</div><div><br>
</div>
<div>This is a joint venture between the Indian Chapter and the Indian Wikimedia community and will henceforth be an annual feature. We were about to start communications of the Working Group on a Google Group but community members have asked if our email group can be hosted by the Foundation and be a mailman list. If provided, it is planned to use this list for planning and organising all national wikiconferences in India henceforth.</div>

<div><br></div><div>The advantages, we feel, are that the list and its archives will be preserved and secure while the Foundation exists, ease of use &amp; interface as all of us are used to mailman lists for community communication to date and that the future of the group will not be dependent upon Google policies.</div>

<div><br></div><div>We request that the list be named  &quot;WikiConference India&quot;, to distinguish it from other types of WikiConferences such as the Wikimania series. </div><div><br></div><div>Should other countries decide to have annual national conferences, perhaps their lists could be named &quot;WikiConference xxxx&quot; (where xxxx is name of the country) similarly.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Looking forward to a positive and early response so that we can begin our organising activities. </div>
