For now, the following OPENI18N lists could be used, as this is where this CLDR comes from: http://www.openi18n.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=1&page=1 In short: [quote] HOW TO JOIN OPENI18N Mailing Lists To subscribe or unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the phrase `subscribe "your name(not your email address)", for example, subscribe Hideki Hiura in mail body, not in subject. You will receive a confirmation email from the mailing list server on openi18n.org. You need to reply to this confirmation mail with the contents quoted. This feature is to prevent SPAMMERs to become subscriber. The confirmation mail includes the line something like confirm 12345677 Hideki Hiura so the reply mail should include this line, something like as follows; > confirm 12345678 Hideki Hiura Then your subscription of the list will machinery be processed. [/quote] I have subscribed this list since long, but the traffic from it is almost always null... Nobody seems to answer there, or the list is not working properly. So Mark could look at what is not working there, before the lists are operated in Unicode and finally transfered with its new policy. Some more responsive lists seem to be the ICU developers list (because IBM still maintains the locales repository which was also an important part of its ICU project, and now becomes managed under the new Unicode LTC policy). The OpenI18N mailing lists include specialized subgroups: Sub Group ; Leader; E-mail; Mailing-list ----------------------------------------------------------------- System Architecture Subgroup ; Yoichi Suehiro ; suehiro ; openi18n-sa Li18nux Application dev. environment ; Helena Shih; hshih ; openi18n-lade Input Method ; Hisashi Miyashita ; himi ; openi18n-im Localization WEB contents ; Takeo Nishii ; takeo ; openi18n-lwc Certification ; Shoji Kuwahara ; kuwahara ; openi18n-certification Advanced Level Utility Developement ; Shoji Sugiyama ; shoji ; openi18n-utildev Application Developement ; (Kido Akio) ; (kido) ; openi18n-appdev Li18nux2000 Test Suites ; Shoji Sugiyama ; shoji ; openi18n-testsuites The interesting parts for Unicode would be the System Architecture Subgroup, Input Method, and Certification; but some of the issues are more general and fall into the domain of RFC 3066. I have no idea where a RFC is discussed: IETF? RFC-Editor.org? The IBM repository has no more discussion now, because it can't accept new commits even from the previous developers without first adhering to the Unicode LTC policy. May be this (CVS hosted) repository could be splitted with a stable branch placed under the LTC authority, and separate development branches where proposals will be tested???
