To quote Kevin Lawton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
# Before people start flaming for non-english on this list,
# I'd like to propose the following policy:
#
# - English is the standard. Post email in English whenever possible.
#
# - Be understanding if someone posts a really short query in another
# language. Not everyone understands English, and there are many
# people with good intentions who seek a simple answer.
#
# - If a short reply is pertinent enough to reply to the list, reply with at
# least
# a translation in English. Take any long or continuous threads off-list,
# or hold them in English.
To me, this is a natural-selection type thing. If a group of people speak
Mandarin(primarily, with maybe an extra language added for luck), yet contribute 95%
of the incoming code, they should be allowed to speak any damned language they want :)
Although, having an "Official" language is a good idea. Just make sure we're flexible.
I imagine most active developers on the plex86 project speak English as a first
language. If this changes, though, I think the "Official" language should be changed,
as well.
