(I first sent this mail to maintaners of w3.org documents, after which Elika J. Etemad suggested me to send it to this mailing list.) Hello, I'm one of maintainers of a (recently created) database for UTF-8 hyphenation patterns that can be used in TeX, OpenOffice, ... We try to keep a complete database of all the available patterns (that we know of) and try to keep it up to date. (We come from TeX world, but that is not of big importance.) We started collaboration with two other projects that deal with hyphenation and are planning to contact the author of http://code.google.com/p/hyphenator/ as well. The strong point of the database is that we are able to automatically convert the patterns to almost any other ascii form with close-to-zero effort and it would not make too much sense if dozens of people around the globe duplicate the same task. The blogs on http://santhoshtr.livejournal.com/15266.html http://santhoshtr.livejournal.com/15599.html made me aware of two portions of documents that you are responsible for: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-gcpm/#hyphenation http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#hyphenate I don't understand whether the idea is to store patterns inside browsers or to make every webpage provide its own. But we are ready to volunteer to provide patterns for web browsers or for whoever might need them in some uniform easily parsable format that could suite all the browsers. Mojca Our preliminary web page: http://tug.org/tex-hyphen/ SVN repository of original patterns: http://tug.org/svn/texhyphen/trunk/hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/ some example of collaboration (automatic conversion to a different format): http://tug.org/svn/texhyphen/trunk/collaboration/offo/
