So, the other thought that I had here was actually to have "English"
lists and then simply have a category for each of the other sets of
lists. In other words, something like:
English
User Lists
pgsql-announce
pgsql-general
Developer Lists
pgsql-hackers
pgsql-gui-dev
whatever else
German
pgsql-de-allgemein
French
pgsql-fr-generale
Spanish
pgsql-es-ayuda
pgsql-es-fomento
pgsql-es-trabajos
This makes it a bit less English-centric, imv, but keeps the more
popular lists towards the top. I'll need to chat with Magnus a bit
about making this a reality since it adds another level, but I don't
expect that to be a huge issue and it wouldn't change the actual email
addresses.
Thanks!
Stephen
