Ah ha. I've just seen /usr/share/locale/, and the directory structures
under there.
Consider that adopted wholesale into the proposal (I wish I'd known about
that a couple of weeks ago). That seems to be as close as we have got
to a standard on FreeBSD, and I'm more than happy to adopt it.
So it becomes something like
doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/*
articles/*
ja_JP.EUC/books/*
articles/*
zh_BN.EUC/books/*
articles/*
zh_TW.BIG5/books/*
articles/*
and so on instead.
Two questions.
First, what do the _JP, _BN, and _TW signify? Could they be dropped from
the name? I realise that the locale/ directory they allow you to
differentiate between "Chinese (China)" and "Chinese (Taiwan)". But is
that distinction useful for the documentation?
Second, we used to have a doc/ja_JP.EUC/ directory, and it was removed in
favour of a straight doc/ja/ directory. Why? It looks like this has been
gone over at least once before in the past. I want to be sure I'm not
repeating past mistakes.
