    Missing locales?

    Bruno Haible told me about a + list + of language codes available from Microsoft, and + discovered that some of these are missing as locales in + current GNU libc.

    Mailing list for discussing locales

    + +

    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.

    + +

    The following people have expressed their interest in joining + such list. If you are interested in such list, please send me + an email.
