Dear colleagues,

since Chris has left us I thought it was a good moment to try and transfer
our work into a form which is better suited for collaboration. I for one
was having problems with the Word files, which were very slow and kept
crashing for me, plus keeping the versions apart was confusing to me.

Accordingly, when I found some time to continue the review of the list
codepoints I had promised earlier, I took the time to convert it into a
Google Docs Spreadsheets documents, which is like an Excel file but stored
in the cloud and it can be edited in the browser. All changes are tracked
and saved automatically, so ideally we can stop worrying about version
control.

I am still in the progress of walking through the list of codepoints.
However I'm sharing it with you now so we can continue collaborating on it
while I go on with my own review. We can always export the work from their
back to an Excel or any other spreadsheet file (including all earlier
versions under automatic version control) should the need arise. It offers
nearly all other features of Excel, including features such as comments and
highlights we all know from Word.

You can access the document from any browser using this link:
https
://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FX5XEuqU2g5-pVr6rWLRhE3KiE4JxT8Kd70I6jlMSBU/edit?
usp=sharing

If you have any Google Account it would be good to access the document
while you are logged in, so we could all understand who made comments and
changes, however it is not necessary for access. Please let me know if you
have any Google (Apps) account so I could invited you directly to edit and
take ownership of the document (currently it is associated with my own
Google account) so it will become accessible to all LGP members and so we
could share the administration of our repository of documents also in the
future.

Similarly and again for the sake of simplicity of collaboration, I plan to
transfer the draft for the actual proposal from Word into a Google Docs
Text document.

I hope this will prove helpful and enable us to collaborate easier and make
some progress, even during our transitioning period from one chair to
another (set of) chairs.

I'll look forward to any comments either on the conversion process or the
documents themselves.

Best wishes,

Meikal
