Actually,if you want this to be about community, then let people scratch their 
own itch. Some may want to work on libc_i18n.a first, someone else may want to 
work on some other thing first.

I will reiterate that the project should be for everything listed on the 
no_source page (and everything in closed_bins).

*should* be, yes. I certainly hope that it will be the thing people want to 
contribute to first, but there is no reason someone can't start on something 
else if they want to and it should be able to be done within this proposed 
project.

Everything has a particular thing that is important to them. From a technical 
standpoint, I would agree with you, but the project should be all inclusive.

I don't think it has to work that way. A project can have milestones and it 
doesn't have to wait for all of the components to be finished to be integrated 
(as far as I know, someone please correct me if I'm wrong) or to begin 
integration.

Besides, someone may want to work on the SPARC disassembler before libc_18n.a 
and to some people that's just as important (necessary anyway on SPARC for the 
libc_18n.a re-implementation).
