To my knowledge there is no Swedish developer. Current developers
are based in USA, Canada, Italy, France and Spain.
I guess Swedish looking name were either users on the wrong mailing
list or advanced users that really needed to address some complex
topic with the developers.

For the developers list that would not make sense, we are few and dev
matters are better kept in a single place.

For the users mailing lists, it might make sense to setup national
users lists in native language, it may help people who have troubles
with english in fact. At the same time, it would make it harder for us
to help people, so to setup one of these I guess we would need someone
to take care of it and relay back issues and observations onto the
english mailing list (I for one can speak only italian and english,
and a little bit of french). It would also make it harder to search
for solutions in the archive since there might be one, but in one
of the mailing lists you don't understand :)
What do other users think? Would you find this helpful?

Cheers
