Character Encodings/To do

Feel free to add your suggestions to this list of improvements. If you complete one of the tasks, please place strike through the comment using <s></s> tags.

This book is at infant, nay perhaps newborn stage, so todo's are at broad level. Further To Dos may be added when the author guidelines are completed.

I would suggest anyone continuing with this project consider using levering wikidata with some sort of custom module.

New main person required

Please be aware with the deletion of the source pages from the English Wikipedia the original author will be withdrawing from the project unless a DRV yields a different result. Anyone wishing to contact the author is probably best advised to leave a message on their talk page on the English Wikipedia. Thank you.

Don't Dos

These are mainly related to the need to do automation and tooling. Please ask the author.

1. Move code pages from Transwiki
2. Edit code pages indiscriminately manually. This could interfere with automation.

While these "Don't do's" are the author's preference if he is able to continue with the project the author may be feeling he is unable to to continue with the process. Because of that these "Don't do's" can be reasonably disrespected for anyone which to try to continue with the project etc.
