Reflection

Thanks to fellow team members who encouraged me to continue this blog. I think I've got comments enabled now. Feel free to ask questions as well - I may not have an answer but it will provoke discussion.

Back in 1994-95 when I struggled through developing the WinMac Dene Fonts, the only resources I had were people I could meet in person or by phone, and printed manuals and catalogs. Trial and error required a lot of sneaker-net and snail-mailing floppy disks to colleagues. I remember getting long distance dial-up in 1996 and discovering the awesome power of email collaboration.

Working with others on Unicode for Dene Languages has already saved me re-inventing the wheel enough times in this last week to equip a Bombardier. What a privilege to be part of this round!
