Re: Request for Coptic or Ethiopic Calendar

Daniel:

I don't see an RFE for this, can you file one?  We'd be interested in seeing
your code when you feel it is ready.  You can email it to me, and I'll follow
up with you.

Locale data would be supplied through the CLDR project, see
http://www.unicode.org/cldr for info.
