I'd been talking on a forum with a Linux database guy,
and he mentioned that on the PostGres lists, people
would "love to use *BSD" but the locale support is limited.
Well, sure 'nough, `locale -a | wc -l` seems to be in the
mid-200s here, and his systems have over 550 locales.
I've probably not RTFM'ed enough, but I'm just looking
for a short answer. What does FreeBSD need to have
more locales*? I'm assuming the answer is, more people
in more locations willing to take the time to RTFM and
submit patches to $x team.....
Discussion? Linkage? Slaps to the head?

* and, of course, an obvious counter question: *does* FreeBSD
need to have more LOCALES?"
