An attempt at some style and typo editing:
----
New Mailinglist for Free Software Topics:

 http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-de

The Free Software Foundation Europe starts a new international email list
    --> I would say "is starting"..."mailing list"
in the German language. Everything related to Free Software is on-topic.
    --> in German
The list is open for everybody.

 Rationale:

Some issues are of local interested only
    --> of local interest only
regarding language and geographic boundaries.
   -->"due to language...geographic differences"(?)
Only the newsgroup de.comp.gnu is know to cover Free Software
    --> is known to
in general. Die German speaking members
    --> The German speaking
of FSFE and FFS (Verein zur Förderung Freier Software, Austria)
are writing on the list.
Another reason is that not everybody is confident in the English
    --> is confident enough
language to participate in the international forums effectively.

 Topics:

Koordiation:
    --> coordination (double-check this)
 + of the activities of the FSFE Chapter Germany
 + of the activities of the FFS in Austria
 + with other Organisations
 + in regions and countries where German is spoken
     --> off?
Information in German:
 + Articles
 + Webpages
 + Localisation projects
 + presenstations
    -->presentations
Questions to all areas of Free Software
 + e.g. Lisensing in DE and AT
