Upstream into ICU/CLDR?

[sffc]

Hi, thanks for your great work on this project. I found this from tc39/proposal-temporal#2854.

I was wondering what you thought about incorporating this into CLDR?

In CLDR, week counting is region-based rather than calendar-based:

https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/928a926ba578e890e1ecfd3beafba2e6e2f68ed0/common/supplemental/supplementalData.xml#L4792

However, in Temporal, it is calendar-based.

As far as I can tell, there are two variables that influence week numbering:

1. First day of week
2. Minimum days in the first week of the unit (month or year)

It would probably be a good idea for CLDR to encode these into supplemental data on a calendar basis rather than locale basis.

Hi @sffc

The goal of our work has always been to have it adopted as a standard, and I would be thrilled if it could be incorporated into CLDR.

Recently, I realised that CLDR could be the perfect home for the Hijri Week Calendar (HWC). I've started exploring how to reach out and understand the process involved. This issue validates my thinking process.

We are currently refining the standard proposal, which we expect to finalise this month.

In the meantime, I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to initiate the process, as I am not very familiar with the required steps.

Thank you for your support and assistance.
