It was pointed out on address@hidden that fsfe-de uses de the ISO
language code for German, not de the ISO country code for Federal
Republic of Germany.  I wondered if that made us an anachronism.  In
any case, we are using Ukrainian's code and should be either fsfe-gb
or fsfe-en depending on whether it's country or language...

Ah, but Cornish language discussions would have a list fsfe-kw mailing
list, regardless of whether participants joined a British FSFE affiliate
or had their own.

Anyway, the diktat has been issued... should we abide by it?  I was
only idly wondering... ;-)
