It is very much needed to discuss Wikipedia Asia related issues.

Wondering if the existing list Wikimedia-asia-chapters can be used for this.?

The description is " Asian Wikimedia Chapters coordination" which seems to be pretty much the same thing.

This mail list will not exclude for affiliate only, and will not exclude for Asian Wikipedians only, which "Wikimedia-asia-chapters" does.

@AddisWang can you suggest a name for the new list that reflects that? Is "wikimedia-asia-collab" ok?

Maybe "asian-wikimedians" ?

Separate from this ticket, but that seems wrong to me. A list called "Wikimedia chapters" should not be limited to Wikipedia-only. That's really strange.

@AddisWang

Ok, so i saw we already have "African-Wikimedians" and so i'm fine with "Asian-Wikimedians" and created that.

You should have already received an email with the initial password.

I set the list description to "Mailing list for Asian Wikimedians" just like the existing "Mailing list for African Wikimedians".

I also added the secondary admin you suggested. He may not have received a mail yet, please share the password with him.
(feel free to reset it again).
