i checked the iso-site. i think it is not soooo easy... :((

"182 languages might not seem like a big number, considering that
there are
between 5 000 and 7 000 languages in the world. However, the
Registration
Authority has to be very restrictive since the alpha-2 code cannot
contain
more than the number of letters in the Latin alphabet (26x26=676
possible
code elements)," noted Mr. Hjulstad. "For this reason, ISO 639-1
represents only the major languages of the world which are most
frequently
represented in the total body of the world's literature."

actual: 104 members in lfn-group. cool.

one idea at george: change the flag in the list from
[LinguaFrancaNova] to [LFN]
why?
this is shorter and more of the information is seen in the subject line

bon voles. karl
