+      <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>
