How much traffic?

I notice we don't have a German language support forum here:
http://user.services.openoffice.org/

So it might make sense to create a new ooo-users-de list (or
ooo-benutzer-de or whatever) for German-speaking users to ask
questions about the project?

For the dev list, until we are fully set up with Pootle and
translations, I think it is important to have all translators and
localizers involved in one conversation here on ooo-dev.  Maybe we
split out a separate ooo-l10n list later.

What do you think?   If there is enough interest in a German users
list, then we would need some volunteers from the PPMC to moderate the
list. 2 or 3 would be ideal.
