Potential decline of tchncs donations
  • I don't think (or, let's hope..) that the current decline is a general overall decline, but rather a before summer decline like in 2023 before vacation where people tend to spend money on their and their families' recreation.

    Smart Concept #5: Smart expands into the mid-size class
  • Any SUVs, even mid-size, are not smart.

  • Discussion about unicode, fonts and transliteration.
  • Depends on what your language's script is then with assigned Unicode characters, how wide-spread it is, when fonts will support the glyphs, and what you mean by "changes to be available on my local OS". What OS? What does available mean here? Do you expect the OS UI to be in your language? Doubtful. Some desktop environment maybe somewhen. Programs using ICU are more likely to support specific script related features (e.g. word/line breaking, transliteration) when ICU will support Unicode 16 in its next version. Locale specifics may have to wait for or could be contributed to CLDR that is also used by ICU. Availability of any UI in the language mostly depends on whether translators contribute to the relevant projects.

    Quillpad is looking for new maintainers
  • Apparently not, you can check commits in https://git.tukaani.org/?p=xz.git;a=summary the first authored commit was 2022-01-28, then long time nothing until 2022-06-10, the first merge as committer was 2022-12-16.

  • Quillpad is looking for new maintainers
  • Making one a maintainer (with merge and possibly even direct commit/push permissions) is handing them a key to the kingdom. Recruiting a maintainer out of the blue without them being already contributor and long term participant in the project is questionable.
