Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments for special contributions to successive versions of CLDR and LDML are in the Acknowledgments section of UTS #35: Locale Data Markup Language (LDML).

Many other people have made significant contributions to CLDR and LDML, including the following:

The first CLDR version under the sponsorship of the Unicode Consortium was version 1.1. The CLDR project was originally developed under the sponsorship of the Linux Application Development Environment (aka LADE) Workgroup of the Free Standards Group’s OpenI18N (formerly known as Linux Internationalization Initiative or Li18nux) team. CLDR 1.0 was approved on 2004.01.16 by the OpenI18N steering committee. The founding members of the workgroup were IBM, Sun and OpenOffice.org.

Thanks to the following people for their contributions to the CLDR 1.0 and LDML 1.0: Helena Shih Chapman, Mark Davis, Simon Dean, Deborah Goldsmith, Steven R Loomis, Kentaroh Noji, George Rhoten, Baldev Soor, Michael Twomey, Ram Viswanadha and Vladimir Weinstein. Special thanks to Akio Kido, Hideki Hiura, Tom Garland, and the OpenI18N organization for the sponsorship of this activity, and to the ICU team for hosting the CVS repository and collecting and managing the data for the project.
