My email is here:

My questions are not related with Cyrillic but in general how
transliteration should be implemented.  You may replace "Cyrillic"
with any other script you know and ask yourself "how would I implement
transliteration from Foo Alphabet to ASCII".

I think that so far there was no transliteration common for all
locales except translit_combine which just removes the combining
diacritic characters.

Can we have any live meeting, like on IRC?  I think that we could have
more questions answered in direct conversation.  By email we can have
little more than one question and answer per day.

I don't object here.  Previously I was complaining about large patches
which arrive in two copies and tend to exceed my email quota.  Regular
conversation does not cause much problem for me.
