Hi, Sorry if I am putting my request at wrong place ,Please forward the same to right people if you happen to know them on my behalf .I here with earnestly request to make mailman wikimedia mailing list/mailman  localisation translation facility avaialable at translatewiki.net

While currently location based one or two mailing lists are available but most of Marathi language wikipedians prefer to receive mailing list messages and mailing list moderation in Marathi language.So we will be start using wikimedia mailing list only after localisation for marathi wikipedians.

.Presently we are convincing diverting and training lot of wikipedians from our wikipedia to work on translation of media wiki and mediawiki translations.One is our available pool of editors is already small and many people from translation background find it difficult to cope up with different different environments.

thank you and warm regards

Hi,

Today I will be migrating the mailing lists from a very old server (lily) in Amsterdam, to a new server (sodium) in our new Ashburn data center. Mailman will be upgraded to version 2.1.13 along the way.

During the migration, mail will be delayed as all data will need to be transferred to the new host. No mail should go lost, but no new mails will be sent out during the process until done, and the web interface will be unavailable. This shouldn't take more than one hour, if all goes well.

I will report here when things should be back up and running. Afterwards, please let us know of any new issues, in bugzilla or on IRC (#wikimedia-tech). We don't expect any problems, but as with any software upgrade or migration, this can't be guaranteed...

Thanks,
