You might want to consider joining an email list that I created which
focuses on globalization issues. It is called the North East Localization
Special Interest Group (NELOCSIG) and is an egroup list. You can join by
emailing me or by going to http://www.egroups.com/group/nelocsig
The volume is usually fairly low, perhaps a few a day or less.
Best of luck,
Suzanne
