I leave it up to you then. Whenever you feel that patterns are ready for the first testing release, let me know. If that's now, I'll include them now. The Germans also keep improving their patterns on regular basis, but only make a release once or twice a year and when they do, the released version goes into hyph-utf8. Of course you could just as well store all intermediate versions in our repository and only copy the "released" version into "texmf tree" when you feel that it should be released. > Apart from automatic patgen process, it also needs manual adjustments. > How possible is it to do so within hyph-utf8 maintenance? I put both the resulting file and the sources (provided that they are available) to hyph-utf8. The final file with patterns is never auto-generated. For some languages with simple rules (which don't need patgen) I sometimes run the generating script manually when the licence changes or some trivial text is added. In your case I would basically always take your final file, no matter how it had been generated. Or I could help you write a simple script that could replace manual adjustments (if those adjustments are straightforward; if it takes a linguist to revise them, then this is not an option). Mojca PS: if you also know any Lao rules, please let me know. I still have an unfinished version of Lao patterns.
