Well, let me speak for the portuguese speaking users.
An IRC channel would not work on this case. Conectiva used
to have one,
and it never worked as an idea.
The mailing list is, of course, the best channel. Mixing web
forums and
a mailing list is not something I particularly enjoy, since
most people
we be either on one of the other, and so we would be
splitting our
efforts (and audience).
So my guess would be list + wiki.
I can get some quite knowledgable portuguese speaking people
to join
the list and give a hand on helping answering questions, so
we can get
a good support base there. Most of them are linux
professionals in one
way or another (sysadmins, ISP owners/admins, consultants
etc), and I'm
sure they would be happy to subscribe to the list and both
answer and
ask questions.
My main concern is how to make people aware there lists
exist.
On another issue, as Karan suggested earlier, I would like
to subscribe
to the idea of having a unified set of moderation rules for
all lists/channels,
so it can help the moderators. Having several moderators
means, usually,
having several ways of dealing with the same issues. If we
can have a
CentOS-way of handling the lists, that would be a very good
thing.
