Hey,
I want to propose the idea of having localized mailing lists. It is obvious that there is a language barrier for users, volunteers and new contributors that don't handle english very well or at all. Yes, you could say that having yet another mailing list won't help, but I would argue that for non-english speakers might be a space for discussion and communication that you might not find in lists such as tor-talk, tor-dev or tor-project. Mailing lists in plural sounds scary so I propose to start with the following:
Name: tor-lang-es@lists.torproject.org (according to #15140 [0] the main issue in the past was the name).
Purpose: General discussion in Spanish, including announcements, user questions and technical discussion.
For what I have seen and heard of events in Latin America I think there is enough "critical mass" to consider this. And if we do, there is a good chance this community gets more cohesion and grow.
Someone might "hey, but if we have a mailing list for language X, we should have one for language Y". To avoid this (supposing that we want) we could set some requirements like for example there should be at least one core member willing to run the list.
Looking forward to discuss the idea.
