It is now, as the name suggests, the list to discuss project wide issues  
for *WIKIPEDIA*. There is also Wikisource, Wikibooks, Wikiquote,  
Wiktionary, etc. The issues discussed in your post affect *all* these  
projects. Such matters belong on foundation-l.

It is very easy to define. foundation-l is intended for Wikimedia-wide  
issues, wikipedia-l is intended for Wikipedia-wide issues, wikitech-l is  
the technical equivalent to foundation-l. So a post regarding server  
messages would be appropriate on wikitech-l and foundation-l, but not on  
wikipedia-l.

The only reason I called it foundation-l and not wikimedia-l is to avoid  
constant wikimedia/wikipedia typos.

SourceForge is our bug tracking mechanism. The only other bug reports page  
that matters is on test.wikipedia.org. What might make sense is a kind of  
queue where people who don't speak English can report bugs, and people who  
do can translate this into English and enter it into the tracker.
