I am going to resign from the coordinator ( the team leader ). And Mr Shyue will take this job. [...] What else we should do ?
OK, I made the changes in the TP registry. Please check:
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/team-zh.html
and tell me if I goofed in any way.
But I think we can set up a mailing list gateway between zh@li.org & zh-l10n@li.org.tw to avoid political problem :-) .
Patrick, would you have `zh@li.org' forward into `zh-l10n@li.org.tw'?
Doing so, messages sent to `zh@li.org' will be seen by `zh-l10n@li.org.tw' members. But if you also manage to send `zh-l10n@li.org.tw' into `zh@li.org', I presume loops might occur unless special dispositions are taken to avoid such problems. Could current `zh@li.org' members subscribe into `zh-l10n@li.org.tw'?
There is an interesting relationship between Mainland China & Taiwan. I am afraid that if we change the address, some people would get upset about that. Before that, I would stay on zh@li.org & zh-l10n@linux.org.tw.
Things are not fully set up, currently in the Translation Project, for having many official addresses for a single team, but if it just cannot be avoided, I could dive into the robot code and try to manage something. Thing would be much simpler if we had a single official address for the team.
May we try using the new email address for a while, and see how translators react? I presume everybody will understand that no offence is intended? Is that workable, and acceptable?

I can do this quite easily however, as Pofeng mentions in his email, there may be political consequences of using Taiwanese resources/mailing list to develop ZH support for GNU/Linux. I seem to have missed much of the discussion regarding this change, so could someone just send me a quick email outlining why we're making this change? Thanks.

Hmm. I'm not sure what the best solution is. It's difficult trying to synchronise two mailing lists to each other. The best option is to use one mailing list for all traffic - whether that mailing list live in the USA (zh@li.org) or Taiwan (zh-l10n@li.org.tw). Then there are no synchronisation problems or mail loops. And subscribers of the list receive all messages.
Of course, you may also wish to have the two mailing lists separate from each other. Or a third option might be to subscribe one list to the other so that email sent to the first list would be automatically forwarded to the second list.
