I received the following note from the editor of the second edition of
ISO/IEC 10646-1.
Between Editions 1 and 2 we added about 15,000 characters. We were working
on it for about 5 years, during which I spent maybe 20-25% of my time on
editorial work and related national committee work. So let's say about
250-300 of my man-days. That's 50-60 characters per man-day just for me,
plus all the experts in the individual scripts, including IRG people.
Is that an interesting sort of statistic for you ?
