Make a encoding standard like Unicode
Guys, what does it takes to make a new encoding standard like Unicode ?
I am ready to learn anything for that.
In how many years do you think the project will finish as one man project ?
Well, it's a helluva lot of language research to start with. I guess you could cheat by just copying the Unicode code pages, but then you haven't really accomplished much.
Or do you mean a new Unicode Transformation Format? That may well be a fun exercise, but you'd need to have a clear idea of the problem you're solving. 7-bit gateways? Fast compression? Fast decompression? Favors common glyphs at the expense of rare ones? Random access versus stream decoding?
