Dear Nina,
thank you. I think you may have to give away some goodies to entice someone to lead the discussion. ;-)
For a mailing list to operate, participation is important, and we also emphasize on the quality of our discussions. If we cannot find a permanent lead, we can have multiple "co-leads". Another approach is "round-robin", in which people take turn to contribute to the translation, and do not dominate the discussion.
metta,
Yong Peng.
