Hi Adrian,

Thanks for taking the lead on this! I reviewed related tickets in Trac and I 
have a few suggestions.


1) Can we move the fields defined in django.contrib.localflavor.generic.forms 
to django.forms?

Currently the US-biased fields are in django.forms and the non-biased ones in 
django.contrib.localflavor.generic.forms — an interesting perspective :)

The alternative is to deprecate them entirely.


2) There's a dozen Trac tickets for adding new countries: Bulgaria, Nicaragua, 
Hungary, Malaysia, Venezuela, South Korea, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Guatemala, 
Latvia, Iran, Singapore.

Would it make sense to create these local flavors now — maybe after asking the 
community to update the patches if they aren't ready?


3) I'd like to see some guidelines on what features a local flavor is expected 
to provide.

Two examples:
- Are model fields that just inherit TextField and set a particular form_class 
useful? (#10087)
- Are pluralization template filters a good idea? (#17632)

I believe it's a good thing for the Django community to maintaining some 
consistency among local flavors. Since we plan to defer to local maintainers in 
each country, we should document the expectations and best practices.
