Hi, Andrey Utkin

Thanks for your advice. I agree that English is very useful when we
discuss kernel problems, but it's also necessary for us to have our
native language maillist. With this list, we can talk about various
topics, even trivial questions about kernel and I believe we can help
a lot of Chinese developers. If we can't deal with some difficult
problems, we will certainly ask for help in English list. Several
years ago, we once had a chinese mail list which domain is
http://zh-kernel.org and many Chinese developer, such as Herbert Xu,
Wang Cong, Mingming Cao and Bryan Wu, were active in this list. But,
it's very pity that this domain is invalid now. That's why I request a
mail list.

Thanks,
