Agreed, but with reference to Lobo's comment about about involvement of 
"i18n/l10n step up and help out with the initial evaluation and 
selection", IMO, not so much so that is slows down the project. We have 
to be careful with distractions.

Re: internationalizaton and with respect specifically to Canada. Our 
arts and "not-for-profit" system here is still based in large part on 
different levels of government awards of grants/subsidies. Once the 
project is far enough to allow for different country modding, I'll see 
if I could submit for a grant to help hire a dev knowledgeable in 
Canadian needs (or even supplement Joar's income if he is able to work 
it out for Canadian usage) to help out for Canadian usage. It could be 
that other i18n/10n groups find themselves able to do the same, so, 
keeping an eye and reporting back to the list as far as whatever 
progress is made at making the code internationally ready would be 
appreciated.

Cheers,

Marc
