AFAIK we use en_US as the source localization for at least LibreOffice
(and have, for example, an en_GB localization team), so I just figured
we might retain consistency across the board. I'd be willing to give
an EN_International team a shot, but I do think we should give it some
form and substance (wiki page? mailing list?) so that it's much more
apparent to community members where to find that resource.

I'll try harder to learn where to submit changes (kudos to cloph for
mentioning the tdf/cms-themes repo on GitHub); I would encourage us to
make it even easier to provide feedback and patches.

Right -- as I mentioned in my first email in this thread, that's
precisely what I did back in February:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61467

In fact, people encouraged me to take the content of the bug report
and go back to the Marketing list :P

I've noticed that there's no 'Marketing' component in Bugzilla. Once
we have our own instance, I'll try to check-in with all of our active
teams and sure that we have intuitively-named components/products
available for filing bug reports, enhancement requests, etc.

Cheers
