Sorry Alex, I wanted to speak with you about this in Smalltalks 2009 but I couldn't find it.
My personal view is that I am not sure if it would be good to have a Pharo in Spanish mailing list. Why ? Most of the Argentinian (and I guess others spanish countries also) people speaks english. At least well enough to communicate. And even more nowadays where you have google translate and all that stuff. So, maybe those you are not use to speak english they do a little effort. With this, everybody can read those emails. If they are only sent to the spanish lists, only those people will read it. And maybe the answer was in an another guy.
In addition, if someone cannot write english at all, then the mailig list is spanish is a good idea :)
I think it's very important to have local Smalltalk mailing lists. It's easier for beginners to speak in their native language. Not every one is a core Pharo developpers, some people are just plain users that want to expose their problems. In french, we have only one mailing with all the Smalltalk flavors. You can talk also about specific needs for example the translation of books in your language or some local events. -- Serge Stinckwich UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC), Hanoi, Vietnam Smalltalkers do: [:it | All with: Class, (And love: it)] http://doesnotunderstand.org/
