When I was thinking about this problem an obvious question emerged --
Why do we not ask user to tell us his/her location? We could simply add
one more TreeView containing localized names of territories (babel
provides this localizations [1]) matching the language below the
language selection TreeView. And in future use GeoIP to preset the right
location based on the GeoIP data.
Any ideas?
Posting to anaconda-devel as this should be a discussion thread.
