requested name of the mailing list:
wikimaps
alternatively:
wikimaps-nordic
reasoning/explanation of purpose (and link to community consensus, if applicable):
The mailing list is needed to allow discussion within the Wikimaps Old Maps / Nordic project to allow various groups of actors to discuss with each other (OpenHistoricalMap, local Nordic mappers and GLAM partners). See the project pages at wikimaps.wikimedia.fi. The maps-l would be a natural environment, but discussing local Nordic issues and from a GLAM perspective could put off the more technical people in the maps-l and vice versa. Also, it may be easier to attract the people from the historic mailing list (OHM/OSM) to a specific list. If the project ends, the remaining subscribers should migrate to to maps-l.
If the tach community wishes, we will join the maps-l, but we will need admin privileges for that.
