No, there to many lists now. I have done a proposal to use the list 
Announce-l as a moderated low traffic list only for announcing important 
things. Because of lack of interest it has not become anything.

The English Wikipedia has now its very own list but a lot of people are 
still use Wikipedia-l like it where the English list.

Some people call now Wikipedia-l the "international list" but is not. 
Read the postings on Intlwiki-l and compare them whit those on 
Wikipedia-l and i must be clear that Intlwiki-l is the international list.

It should be clear;
Intlwiki-l the international list
Wikitech-l the the technical list
Announce-l still born

WikiXX-l the language wikipedia lists

Wikipedia-l not clear -- mostly used as a copy of wikiEN-l

I propose to close Wikipedia-l (no posting allowed)
The flame wars can be done at WikiEN-l
