new list group

From

Hi,

I want to create a new list group, called "Associations".  This would
hold pgus-general and pgeu-general.  The only visible change is that we
would have one more submenu in archives.postgresql.org and
www.postgresql.org/community/lists

Anyone care strongly enough against the idea to object?

Not objecting but what is the definition that you are using for the
grouping?

The associations go into the Associations group.  The current Regional
group keeps the language-specific lists.

Seems a weird break out but it certainly isn't going to hurt anything.

Don't forget to add spi, that too is an association for postgresql related 
activities.

PostgreSQLFR is also an association. Even if PGFR has its own mailing
list server (http://listes.postgresql.fr), the pgsql-fr-generale list is
the main communication tool of the association.

Furthermore,  pgsql-fr-generale is not really a "regional" mailing-list
because it gathers "french-speaking" people regardless where they live.
I guess it's the same thing for Spanish, and other languages that are
spoken in multiple countries. Maybe a category named "language specific
lists" would suit better.

Anyway, thanks for your work Alvarro :)
