I hope I can give a fair assessment in saying that SIL has also made a
not insignificant contribution to getting the writing systems of the
world's languages, particularly those that are lesser known, supported
in computer systems and in industry standards. ...
I just want to add that a very significant part of this contribution was
made personally by Peter Constable during his years with SIL. He has
been a prime mover in pushing through the organisation a sometimes
painful but in the long run very necessary transition to Unicode, in
providing the tools required for this transition, and in educating many
including myself about Unicode and its proper principles. I am sure SIL
is missing him greatly, although it will continue to benefit from his
promotion of Unicode now he is with Microsoft.
