VettingProcess

We are now beginning the vetting phase for CLDR 1.4. On the [main page], locales that need attention are indicated with a dashed box.

You will get an email about each of the locales that you are authorized for. Please review these locales with the Survey Tool and make sure the right choices are made for proposed items. In your review, please go through each of the sections:

  Code Lists:  languages | scripts | territories | variants | keys | types | currencies | timezones | measurementSystemNames?
  Other Items: characters | numbers | gregorian calendar | other calendars | references | misc 

The fields in each section that you need to review are divided into three categories (which you will see if you have Priority selected in the navigation bar.)

• Changes Proposed: Insufficient Votes
• Changes Proposed: Disputed
• Changes Proposed: Tentatively Approved

You don't need to worry about the other categories, where no proposed changes were made for this release (all categories are listed at the bottom of this page for your reference).

Please make sure that you have voted for all the items in each of the above categories.

• If none of the proposed items are correct, you can enter in a correction in the "change to" box.
• If the item is incorrect, and should be removed, vote for "remove".
• You can abstain if you are unsure, but it would be most useful to resolve all of the proposed items.
• Note that once you click on "Add Changes on this Page" (which you must do to save your changes), you will see your votes. A vote for "remove" will appear as a vote for "(empty)".
• Once you have saved the changes on the page, use the "next →" link in the navigation bar to go to the next page.

Warning: When you are looking at the 'available date formats' in the calendars section, there are a few points to watch for (ideally these should be done in the tool, but there wasn't enough time). See AvailableDateFormats.

If others have voted for a different item, you'll see that on the page. Please communicate with them to try to resolve the issue and all agree on the most appropriate value. Click on their names to get their email addresses; you may wish to exchange phone numbers to make the resolution go faster.

The vetting phase ends on May 15, but don't wait to do the vetting or you may not be able to resolve the issues with the other vetters in time! To keep the system from slowing down, only a limited number of people are allowed on at the same time; please log out after you are done (you are logged out automatically if you have no activity for one hour).

Notes:

• Certain formal problems, such as non-letters in the exemplar characters or illegal patterns, will be fixed after vetting.
• Some data submitters have supplied data that differs in capitalization from most of the current data, eg 'chineji' vs 'Chineji'. We don't want additional items to be inconsistent with the rest of the data, even it if would be more acceptable to change all of the data to have different casing. So for this release, please change the new data to have consistent capitalization, and file a [bug] to fix the locale in the next release.
• Remember to hit the (Add Changes on This Page) before leaving the page, or your changes will be lost!

Here are all of the categories (you only need to worry about the first 3):

• Changes Proposed: Insufficient Votes
  • Would stay as "provisional" or "unconfirmed" unless votes are added or changed.
  • If an item has one vote, it is in an orange dashed box.
• Changes Proposed: Disputed
  • Would stay as "provisional" or "unconfirmed" unless votes are added or changed.
  • Each of the disputed items is in a red dashed (small dashes) box.
• Changes Proposed: Tentatively Approved
  • Would be advanced to draft="approved" if no further votes are made.
  • The approved item is in a green solid box.* No Changes Proposed: Questionable Values:
  • These are possibly errors, but no changes were proposed. Unless there are serious problems, these will wait for the next release.
• No Changes Proposed: Status Quo:
• No Changes Proposed: Inherited
  • These are inherited, and may be missing.

The final resolution of any items is according to the [resolution process]. Note that submissions by 'guest vetters' don't count in the voting. If you have any questions, contact your organization's representative.
