Wikipedia:Mailing lists
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
Wikipedia has lots of mailing lists. You can read them on the internet or by email or by NNTP using GMANE. Mailing lists show up in Google searches.
Old messages can be found at GMANE [1] and MARC [2].
There is not a mailing list only for Simple English. You should probably use the English list or the international list.

General, project-wide mailing list
The general project-wide list is Wikipedia-L. It's a resource for Wikipedia authors. If you don't want to use Wikipedia (or Meta-Wikipedia) for questions, or if you'd like to talk to other Wikipedians outside the wiki format, then you can sign up for Wikipedia-L.
English Wikipedia mailing list
Since Wikipedia-L developed into an extremely high traffic list, a separate mailing list for the English Wikipedia was created. For discussion of issues concerning the English wikipedia only, please sign up for WikiEN-L and keep Wikipedia-L for general policy discussions!
Foundation mailing list
Foundation-l is for any cross-project issues, discussions and cooperation. It is also for things that affect the Wikimedia foundation. Legal issues can be posted to this list.
Language-specific mailing lists
There are also language-specific mailing lists for Wikipedia in Danish, Dutch, Esperanto, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, and Swedish.
Technical issues mailing list
And, there's a mailing list for technical discussions regarding development of the Wikipedia software: Wikitech-L.
Wikibooks mailing list
Mailing list for the Wikibooks project.
Wikipedia also has a real-time chat channel. See meta:IRC channels for more info.
