It's a bit to bite off and chew, but we could team up with OpenOffice.org on
this. Scott and I wrote half a program in PHP/MySQL that manages a large,
multilingual press contacts list, and does "mail blasts: It needs
finishing, though ... there's currently no UI and it needs to be ported to
Postgres so that some of the program can be built into views and functions.
That may be too much to do in time for 7.3, though.

That would be easy and great. We'd need to check the submissions, though, to
avoid duplication. So instead of just "e-mail address", let;s ask for:
Name:
Organization:
E-mail Address:
Preferred Langauge:
Phone (optional):
