New home for time zone stuff by 2012?

To put it in perspective, the CLDR project has thousands of pieces of data
in hundreds of languages. The scope of the CLDR project is vastly bigger
than TZ. That being said, I'm confident that if unicode were to take over
tz, then you could still get VERY quick turnaround when you needed to. I
would think this would be a good move for both TZ and Unicode.

The officers of the Unicode Consortium (http://unicode.org) have discussed
this issue, and are interested in exploring hosting the TZ efforts. Aside
from the Unicode projects, we currently also support other independent
efforts (http://www.unicode.org/iso15924/, http://www.unicode.org/udhr/).
Hosting the TZ project would provide for mailing list hosting, code
distribution, source code repository (SVN) if desired, etc., web pages,
etc. -- presuming that the functioning of the TZ group would continue
basically as it does now.
Unicode also host the CLDR - Common Locale Data Repository.
Although not the same as the TZ data, there is at least some commonality
in theme.
If there is interest in something along these lines, we can discuss more
specifics of what this would look like and then pass a proposal by our
board of directors.
