I think a soc.culture.german conference would be a desireable conference.

I would suggest, however, that messages within the conference be required to
be in English; to allow messages sent in German would sharply reduce your
potential "market" of users.  There are many users of German extraction who
would be interested in their ancestral home, yet do not speak or read the
language.  Certainly, you would not want to exclude them.

On the other paw, most German students, I understand, do speak and read
English.

Good luck!
