Re: [Bug localedata/2135] Please add esperanto locale (eo_UY)

["Eduardo Trápani" <eduardo@esperanto.org.uy>]

Hello,

I've just seen the new Kashubian locale for Poland added without any hassle whatsoever, even with help from the people who do the checkins, in little more than a week[1].

Am I to assume you finally found a way to streamline the addition of new locales?

Friendly, Eduardo.

PS: I have nothing against the insertion of Kasubian, but check some facts[2], I really don't understand your policy, unless it's changed for the good and we are next ...

Population  	3,000 in Poland.
Language use  	The Slovincian dialect is extinct. Few children speakers of Kashubian Proper.
