Hi Lu Wei,

Before creating a new community group it's best to get buy-in from the existing community leaders in that area. Forgive me, but I'm afraid I don't know if you are such a leader. I cannot find your name here, for example: https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Teams:zh-CN, and I can't find an entry for you in mozillians.org.

Can you help me understand why you are proposing this group, and why you are the right person to run it?

Gerv

I am a long-time mozilla product user and a Usenet user. Not fanatic as before maybe, they are still my favorite network software and service. I am not in any affiliation with the l10n team, though I see a familiar name in that page, who I know was a Usenet fan too. And I haven't heard of mozillians.org until today. I run a little Usenet server for myself. Recently I received some new group notifications, which belongs to mozilla.community.*. I suddenly thought: "Is there any mozilla group specific to Chinese users?" A search gives me none, so I simply think there should be one.

Surely, I think there should be better candidates to "run" the group. But I did not see "moderated" flag in other community groups. If a moderator is mandatory, then I will raise it in a Chinese group to see if others are interested. If no one takes it, then I will try it myself. Hope it will not be too hard!

p.s. I just registered mozillian.org. That page has a bug: if I select "help" icon in the items I could help, the page cannot proceed. I have to choose "translation" or others. Maybe that bug should be reported separately, if you could confirm it.

Today I tried again, after my mozillian account has been created, and using a proxy, that this option works. So it may be Chinese government's fault, or Noscript forbid some scripts.

Hi Lu Wei,

Mozilla has an active Chinese community; you should contact some of the people listed on one of these two pages:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Teams:zh-CN
https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Teams:zh-TW
to find out where they hang out.

I would not be inclined to create a new group for Chinese users without the assent of the leaders of our existing Chinese community. If they are in favour, then they should come and reopen this bug :-)
