Request Chinese mail list and FrontPage

[swalow swalow]

(Accidentally replied only to Andrey. Sorry for the spam, Andrey)

Sorry for being a newb and speaking out but maybe the reason is that this
mail list is in English and they don't feel comfortable answering/asking in
it? There might be other reasons that my Western educated brain cannot
grasp. If it's not too much work, why not give them a chance? Worst case
they will come back here and be forced to ask the question in English. Best
case more people will be involved in the conversation.

Respectfully,
Georgi
