http://www.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2 is the official website of -- you guessed it -- JTC1/SC2, the JTC1 subcommittee which maintains ISO/IEC 10646. From there you can get to all the official WG2 documents posted for review, as part of the review and development of 10646 (which, of course, has a direct bearing on the synchronized development of the Unicode Standard). > and why > aren't they linked together for us fringies? They are. While the dkuug.dk site is rather stingy in providing links to the Unicode Consortium, you can find them in many of the documents there. However, the Unicode website page: http://www.unicode.org/onlinedat/resources.html has links to www.dkuug.dk and directly to the JTC1/SC2 directory there, as well as links to many other relevant standards sites. Then there is Mr. Michael Everlinker himself. At his site: http://www.evertype.com you can find links *both* ways, to all the SC2/WG2 documents and to the Unicode website. People who are heavily engaged in this character encoding business have to spend a great deal of time on all three of those sites. > > Ken Whistler and Michael Everson plan > > to get together after too much eggnog and randomly > > rearrange the numbers. > > Eggnog sounds good--Guiness is that scary dark > stuff--distilled from peat bog water with charcoal for > flavor, right?--Elaine "Distilled" ?! Horrors. No, it is made from the River Liffey, with beer yeast and sugar, then substituting well-charred bog turves for the malt. The nice dark color comes from the bog turves, with a good long mash, and the head comes from the river scum. --Ken
