Hello Live DVD List-
I was reminded today about Languages, via a blog post on the Debian
Planet feed.
The next version of Debian is close to final, and they are rounding up
language translations.
I propose that prominent, supported language packs on the Live DVD
ought to be chosen
in response to real-world participation. If that were the case, using
Debian as a model, I see
Very High / Highest Participation
english, german, french, italian, spanish, portuguese, russian,
swedish, czech, japanese
Participation
Belorussian, catalan, lithuanian, malayalam, norwegian, romanian,
slavak, vietnamese
Some Others
Hindi, Thai, Arabic, Traditional Chinese, Korean
of course, Debian is published in over 70 languages, and wikipedia now
has articles on over 250 languages.
Very strong international support is a win-win for everyone, and, I
think emphasis ought to be placed first, where
there are active members who have actual access to OSGeo tools.
best regards from Berkeley, CA
-Brian
