I am officially asking that the international wikipedia list be discarded. It is useless, and providing the false feeling to international people that it is "their" list, and that they don't need to register to the *main* *english* one. This is very misleading. It would be better not to pretend things, but to make them clear.
However, also realise that just doing so will prevent international wikipedias to have any real involvement in general policy matters. Today, in 5 hours, my mail box received 85 messages. I do not feel fluent in english enough to read all of them. I'll discard some of them, hoping no essential issue for us was raised, for I know nobody else will tell them.
The problem is that we don't have <enwiki-l>. Whether or not we keep <intlwiki-l>, we need <enwiki-l>.
Mav wrote a post recently about redesigning the lists, a specific proposal that built on your earlier suggestion. I could have sworn that he posted it on <intlwiki-l>, so I hope that you saw it while you were still reading that.
