Re: Internationalization & Localization guidelines/checklists

OK, my 2002 is not getting off to such a good start. Let's try this
again:

I did like this the sun taxonomy a lot and then for some reason it
didn't show up on my search thru my emails on the subject. I'll create a
web page for this list, when I get a chance.

The 'ITS Requirements' document may have a few things for your list, 
it's just a draft, but I think it covers some of what you are looking 
for. After all one of the deliverables of ITS is a set of guidelines.
