Everything said above is still valid, but i'd like to delay tt_TR
(which might still come up later), in favor of tt iqtel  I was
hesitating about @iqtel earlier, because it's not a registered
modifier. But it was explained to me on launchpad that the modifier
doesn't have to be registered. ije in sr ije isn't registered either.
iqtel stands for İQTElif (İdíl-Ural-Qırım Tatar Elifbası), which is
version of Latin alphabet. The reason i need to use a modifier like
that under tt is because there are about 6 versions of Latin alphabet
currently de-facto in use, and none of them has gained official
status. This alphabet is characterized by:
1. phonetic correctness
2. closeness of orthography to kindred languages (like Crimean Tatar,
where Latin alphabet is official)
3. conventionality (no weird characters)

Basically, there needs to be 2 new teams:
crh
and
tt iqtel (so that folks who share preference for IQTElif have a common
workspace)

Thanks.
