I agree with the proposal. It's a good thing for Linux and Gnome. Go 
ahead. One could include app.web.gnome.org for program that uses a web 
server ( like CUPS, httrack and so on ) , so they can be used with any 
desktop in Linux.

To configure the locales before install them ( for Gnome Locales) the 
user could utilize LYNX ( i.e. apt-get install gnome-locales and them 
select the concrete locales using a web client, curses and so on - 
connecting to the internet to download the concrete locales, but in a 
graphical environment).

Regards.
