Hi Andrei,

In general: sure, why not. 

Though I'm a bit sceptical: there was some controversity about 
#debian-offtopic (see for example 
http://pcpool00.mathematik.uni-freiburg.de/~brl/blog/index.html#25 or 
http://www.miriamruiz.es/weblog/?p=142) which lead to a channel split, so 
that the "offensive part" become un-official or not afiliated. (Or whatever, 
havent followed that in too much detail.)

I'd like debian-community.org to become an official part of Debian, and thus 
my scepticism. (There is also the practical concern where to host the list 
and who will adinistrate it, but thats secondary and rather straightforward.)

Then, I guess this goes very well with debian-community.orgs few rules, "be 
nice" or "Be excellent to each other" (a phrase I was reminded of in 
http://mjg59.livejournal.com/94420.html which is a good read on this subject 
too.)


regards,
	Holger
