+ <h2>Mailing list for discussing locales</h2>
+
+ <p>I'm interested in creating a new mailinglist for discussiong
+ the GNU libc locales. It would be a forum where we can
+ discuss how to write locales and how locales should behave,
+ without drowning in the technical discussions about linker
+ problems and syscall conventions. Roland McGrath told me that
+ such list could be created if there is a significant number of
+ people interested in being on such list, and not interested in
+ being on libc-alpha.</p>
+
+ <p>The following people have expressed their interest in joining
+ such list. If you are interested in such list, please send me
+ an email.</p>
+
+ <ul>
+
+ <li>Danilo Segan</li>
+ <li>Ionel Mugurel Ciobica</li>
+ <li>Volodymyr M. Lisivka</li>
+ <li>Christian Rose</li>
+ <li>Mashrab Kuvatov</li>
