But both would require launching a new thread. Thinking hard enough, I’m even afraid that most subscribers wouldn’t be interested, so we’d have to move off-list. One alternative I can think of is to use one of the CLDR mailing lists. I subscribed to CLDR-users when I was directed to move there some technical discussion about keyboard layouts from Unicode Public. But now as international message components are not yet a part of CLDR, we’d need to ask for extra permission to do so. An additional drawback of launching a technical discussion right now is that significant parts of CLDR data are not yet correctly localized so there is another bunch of priorities under July 11 deadline. I guess that vendors wouldn’t be glad to see us gathering data for new structures while level=Modern isn’t complete. In the meantime, you are welcome to contribute and to motivate missing people to do the same. Best regards, Marcel
