Re: [lojban] Re: Making a jbo locale file and package for installation, need some suggestions.

Hmm. Well, it seems that there's some community disagreement. Gregorian calendar and color- or material-based names isn't, well, culturally neutral, which Lojban is supposed to be. There's already some standardization that ties days to numbers, but there's also some that use planets. I'm leaning for numbers. Does anyone else have a weigh-in?

Pierre,

Thank you very much for your detailed response. I've adjusted as follows: http://pastebin.com/yb3EyzWR

Left currency symbol as EUR. 
Decimal point is a [.], as it's likely computing will be a first point on lojbanists' priorities.
Added days using the color system, which seems more systematic than the alternative. 
Short date format is fine.
LC_MESSAGES now accepts 'j' or 'n'
Paper... paper? Paper.
Titles removed from names.
Packaging script that comes with Arch Esperanto package (and most other Esperanto references) have been converted. It will install as "jbo UTF-8" in /etc/locale.gen, and you can enable it as the default language by setting the LOCALE field of your /etc/locale.conf to "jbo.utf8" once it's finished.

What's left:
Should we even have a thousands seperator?
{crino} still undecided for abbreviation.
I couldn't find a list of fu'ivla-ized Gregorian calendar months, if you could list names that would work fine.
Date format has to include (to be consistent with the current one): Day of week, day of month, month abbr, year, 24-hr time, timezone. 
Remainder of name information needs to be finalized, should we use {la}?
Filling out and unicode-paging fields when it's finalized.
