[DISCUSS] Start a [e-mail] mailing list for the Chinese-speaking community?

[Robert Metzger]

Hey all,

I would like to create a new user support mailing list called "
[hidden email]" to cater the Chinese-speaking Flink community.

Why?
In the last year 24% of the traffic on flink.apache.org came from the US,
22% from China. In the last three months, China is at 30%, the US at 20%.
An additional data point is that there's a Flink DingTalk group with more
than 5000 members, asking Flink questions.
I believe that knowledge about Flink should be available in public forums
(our mailing list), indexable by search engines. If there's a huge demand
in a Chinese language support, we as a community should provide these users
the tools they need, to grow our community and to allow them to follow the
Apache way.

Is it possible?
I believe it is, because a number of other Apache projects are running
non-English user@ mailing lists.
Apache OpenOffice, Cocoon, OpenMeetings, CloudStack all have non-English
lists: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/
One thing I want to make very clear in this discussion is that all project
decisions, developer discussions, JIRA tickets etc. need to happen in
English, as this is the primary language of the Apache Foundation and our
community.
We should also clarify this on the page listing the mailing lists.

How?
If there is consensus in this discussion thread, I would request the new
mailing list next Monday.
In case of discussions, I will start a vote on Monday or when the
discussions have stopped.
Then, we should put the new list on our website and start promoting it (in
said DingTalk group and on social media).

Let me know what you think about this idea :)

Best,
Robert

[Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai]

Hi Robert,

Thanks a lot for starting this discussion!

+1 to a [hidden email] mailing list (you mentioned -zh in the title, but
-cn in the opening email content.
I think -zh would be better as we are establishing the tool for general
Chinese-speaking users).
All dev@ discussions / JIRAs should still be in a single English mailing
list.

From what I've seen in the DingTalk Flink user group, there's quite a bit
of activity in forms of user questions and replies.
It would really be great if the Chinese-speaking user community can
actually have these discussions happen in the Apache mailing lists,
so that questions / discussions / replies from developers can be indexed
and searchable.
Moreover, it'll give the community more insight in how active a
Chinese-speaking contributor is helping with user requests,
which in general is a form of contribution that the community always merits
a lot.

Cheers,
Gordon

Thanks for your response.

You are right, I'm proposing "[hidden email]" as the mailing
list's name!

+1. I noticed that many folks from China are requesting the JIRA permission in the past year. It reflects that more and more developers from China are using Flink. A Chinese oriented mailing list will definitely be helpful for the growth of Flink in China.

+1 on the idea. This will certainly help promote Flink in China industries. On a side note, it would be great if anyone in the list can help source ideas, bug reports, and feature requests to dev@ list and/or JIRAs so as to gain broader attention.

Xuefu

help source ideas, bug reports, and feature requests to dev@ list and/or

be
helpful for the growth of Flink in China.

Hi Robert,

Thanks a lot for starting this discussion!

+1 to a [hidden email] mailing list (you mentioned -zh in the
title,
but
-cn in the opening email content.
I think -zh would be better as we are establishing the tool for
general
Chinese-speaking users).
All dev@ discussions / JIRAs should still be in a single English
mailing
list.

From what I've seen in the DingTalk Flink user group, there's
quite a
bit
of activity in forms of user questions and replies.
It would really be great if the Chinese-speaking user community
can
actually have these discussions happen in the Apache mailing
lists,
so that questions / discussions / replies from developers can be
indexed
and searchable.
Moreover, it'll give the community more insight in how active a
Chinese-speaking contributor is helping with user requests,
which in general is a form of contribution that the community
always
merits
a lot.

Cheers,
Gordon

Hey all,

I would like to create a new user support mailing list called "
[hidden email]" to cater the Chinese-speaking Flink
community.

Why?
In the last year 24% of the traffic on flink.apache.org came
from
the
US,
22% from China. In the last three months, China is at 30%, the US
at
20%.
An additional data point is that there's a Flink DingTalk group
with
more
than 5000 members, asking Flink questions.
I believe that knowledge about Flink should be available in
public
forums
(our mailing list), indexable by search engines. If there's a
huge
demand
in a Chinese language support, we as a community should provide
these
users
the tools they need, to grow our community and to allow them to
follow
the
Apache way.

Is it possible?
I believe it is, because a number of other Apache projects are
running
non-English user@ mailing lists.
Apache OpenOffice, Cocoon, OpenMeetings, CloudStack all have
non-English
lists: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/
One thing I want to make very clear in this discussion is that
all
project
decisions, developer discussions, JIRA tickets etc. need to
happen
in
English, as this is the primary language of the Apache Foundation
and
our
community.
We should also clarify this on the page listing the mailing
lists.

How?
If there is consensus in this discussion thread, I would request
the
new
mailing list next Monday.
In case of discussions, I will start a vote on Monday or when the
discussions have stopped.
Then, we should put the new list on our website and start
promoting
it
(in
said DingTalk group and on social media).

Let me know what you think about this idea :)

Best,
Robert

a big +1 to this!

An user-zh mailing list will help more Chinese speaking users and there
will be more people willing to help answer questions who want to contribute
for Flink.
It's exciting to see the community is embracing Chinese speaking users.

Best, Jark
