Interesting and I get that it's a play off of 'localization' wrt L10N
and whatnot, but I don't think most people would get it (particularly
those whose first language is not English...).

I also don't really want to modify the webcode, if we can avoid it, so
what do people think about this:

User lists -> User lists (English speaking)
Developer lists -> Developer lists (English speaking)
(add) User lists for other languages (not English)
Regional lists -> Regional lists (primary native language)
Associations -> Associations (English speaking)
(remove) User groups
Project lists -> Project lists (English speaking0
(remove) Inactive lists

With the associated migration between lists groups proposed previously.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
