I will be adding some thoughts about next steps to
http://zwiki.org/ZwikiInternationalisation later.  I want to go all the
way to multi-lingual pages, ultimately.  Your input is welcome as always.

Some current localizer-related questions to bounce off the list:

- how best to mark large multiline strings ?
- should common html/dtml be separated out ?
- how to get zgettext.py to remove obsolete strings ?
- how to get zgettext.py to set metadata ?
- alternatives to zgettext.py ?
- do I need an en.po, what should be in it ?
- should any of locale/* be in cvs ?
- why doesn't mozilla show the translation ? (ns does)
- why does mozilla give a blank page with localizer's select language menu ?
- why does ns give the unchanged page with localizer's select language menu ?

Thanks,
