[Foundation-l] Moderate this list

[Samuel Klein]

This is effectively the only cross-project list at the moment.  And it
is the canonical place to raise certain important issues and
announcements.

It has become popular to disparage this list as a poor place to have
serious discussions about the foundation -- and to do the disparaging
in private, where it can't possible lead to consensus to change this.
Let's please stop doing that, and instead fix the list and its norms,
or devise replacements and alternatives, so that we can all agree on
where to have open, welcoming discussions -- that are comfortable for
almost everyone, including non-native English speakers; that draw
input from the core audience (people who care about Foundation
issues).

Please don't view this as a problem that someone else must identify
and cope with.  If you are reading this list, you can help fix it.

aren't native english speakers and have never posted here, about how
this is not an effective place for them to take part in important
Wikimedia or foundation discussions.)
