Due to an almost overwhelming number of posts to Wikipedia-L mailing list two new mailing lists have been set-up; [email protected] and [email protected]. WikiEN-L will be used to discuss matters that only concern the English Wikipedia. Announce-L will be a place to post general announcements that pertain to the whole project. Wikipedia-L will now be reserved for policy and other discussion that pertains the whole project -- all languages.
A Polish language mailing list has also been set up. You can subscribe at WikiPL-L.
