since its still just another English Wikipedia POV dispute and thats
Even though the topic of this mail is not limited to enwiki, the above
statement is true.
But unlike other Indian language wikiproject wikipedians, English
wikipedians from India still doesn't have a common forum (apart from the
wiki project India page in en wiki which is not used by many users) to
discuss various topics related to them. I feel it is a good idea to start
another mailing list exclusively for discussing topics related to en
wikipedians from India. It will help to bring togther all people from India
who are interested in en wiki projects.

Point such people to appropriate places like discussion pages , notice
board (oops, it cant handle more NOW,but yes ideally). IMO bringing content
disputes to mailing list, chapter is slightly Off Topic ish / doesnt serve
purpose, simply because they are not governing any content. Its totally
different thing if a Wikipedian asks for opinion / comes out of a media
post, even then list isnt the ideal place,it only calls for more trolling
since people arent obliged to stick to values which when broken can get a
block on wiki.[Refer "Socio Cultural relevance of Sanskrit Wikipedia blah
blah" some months back]. [[On a seperate note, we havent framed a block
policy for the list, but I presume day is not far when we may be in need of
it]]
The audience of the list is so spread over that it might be spammy even to
discuss a largely relevant issue like this, since its still just another
English Wikipedia POV dispute and thats it where as list is for "Discussion
of Wikimedia Projects in India".
My 2 paisa.
