Hi all,
Unicode CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository) version 1.7 is going through its latest phases of vetting. The GNOME Foundation is a liaison member of the Unicode Consortium, and we can vote on individual locale data entries to be published in the next version of CLDR.
There are plans to expose CLDR data through GNOME, and push applications to use the locale data available in CLDR, instead of the one in glibc. This would help various applications provide better sorting, better date and time formats, etc.
More information about Unicode CLDR is available here: http://cldr.unicode.org/
The present vetting phase ends in just four days, so it's a bit late in the process to do that. But I believe it's better to get the accounts while we can participate immediately, instead of later when there is no action going on.
If you are interested in helping improve CLDR data for your language, please contact the coordinator for your language.
If you are the coordinator, and your community is interested to participate in CLDR, please send me the contact information for one vetter per language: name, email address, locale name, CLDR locale code. (This can be the coordinator himself/herself, of course, and we can always change things later).
The vetting process is explained here: http://cldr.unicode.org/index/survey-tool/vetting
The CLDR process (including how votes are counted) is explained here: http://cldr.unicode.org/index/process
If you are interested in doing this for CLDR 1.7, please send me the contact information for your language CLDR contact *as soon as possible*. I plan to send the first list of names, accounts, and languages in 24 hours. (Disclaimer: I can't promise Unicode staff will be able to give us the accounts in time.)
But don't worry if you couldn't make that deadline. I don't think we will be using CLDR 1.7 data in GNOME, and there is plenty of time for next release. Just send me the information when you decided who will be doing the CLDR work for your language. The 24-hour deadline is for people who have the time this weekend and are interested in playing with the CLDR survey tool *now*.
Legal note: The CLDR data is licensed under a variety of the MIT license. This means that while we can use the CLDR data in GNOME's LGPL and GPL-licensed project code and data, we cannot simply take GNOME's copylefted data and put it back in CLDR without permission from all the translators of that data. So, be careful with copying and pasting.
