Comment:

 Here was some talk about localization but no one mentioned one problem
 with release notification. We link now to wordpress.org/download and not
 to locale site because we don't have mailing list on locale sites.

 Is it possible to make mailing list for locale sites so that users could
 receive e-mail on their language when new '''locale''' version is
 available?


 Further, there are some other i18n issues about default stuff. For
 example, slugs for default categories (Uncategorized and Blogroll) start
 with upper case and that can be confusing to translators (it was for me),
 so users of non-Latin languages could use their script for this and not
 Latin as they would probably do if they knew what that is. Maybe there
 should be also better description for this too.

 Another thing that could be localized are default links. Except Ideas,
 Plugins and Themes, all other things now can exist for locale language, so
 users could go to that pages and not to English one. This way we can also
 promote locale sites.

 Last thing is link in default comment. It points to wp.org, and it should
 be i18n so that it points to locale sites.

 Any thought on this?
