[go-nuts] IDN support for Go, project announcement (go-idn)
hannson
I'm not sure if an announcement belongs in this group but I cannot
find a better place to post it. I'm looking for contributors who have
signed the Google individual/corporate license agreement (http://
golang.org/doc/contribute.html#copyright) because I'd like to get my
project into Go's standard libarry.
I've been working on a Go library called go-idn for several days. Its
goal is to become THE idn implementation for Go, maybe become a part
of the standard library for Go and to be feature compatible with
libidn.
Go-idn is hosted at http://code.google.com/p/go-idn.
Go-idn includes:
* Punycode codec
* Stringprep
* IDNA
* Unicode normalization (as of this writing it's buggy at best)
* TLD
The current status of the project is 75% until feature freeze. It's
mostly hanging on proper unicode normalization support and nothing has
been written for TLD (which is a long term goal) but anything else is
mostly working.
Punycode is ready - passes all unit-tests when case-insensitive but
fails a single test when case-insensitive
Stringprep is nearing completion - it's mostly waiting for the
normalization support
IDNA has been written - but is waiting for stringprep
TLD hasn't begun - it's only a long-term goal to support it.
Unicode normalization passes some unit tests but is not complete at
all.
Go-idn is hosted at http://code.google.com/p/go-idn.

This is exactly the right place to post it. :-)

I'm not sure that this belongs in the standard library; we are
resisting being overly inclusive. It would be better if Go users had
access to high-quality 3rd-party libraries when they needed them.
On that note, I've noticed that go-idn doesn't work with the goinstall
tool. This is because it is a collection of packages that refer to
each other, but not by the full repository name. You'd have to change
each of the import paths in the code, eg:
"punycode" becomes "go-idn.googlecode.com/hg/src/punycode"
"stringprep" becomes "go-idn.googlecode.com/hg/src/stringprep"
That way a potential user can just run:
goinstall go-idn.googlecode.com/hg/src/idna
to pull in the idna package and its dependancies automatically.
