Here in Brazil we are creating our language email list. For us it will be 
great because we have a lot of different terms, technologies of US and 
Canada, even Europe.

I think that for brazillians, the first place to solve a problem could be 
the brazillian list, after that a universal list(this asterisk-users list) 
could be the second choice.

The local lists will be a good point to share local expiriences. I dont 
think that Canada and US have a huge difference of telecom standards like 
Brazil and US...

Denis.
