Instead of trying to figure out some advance allocation model, I suggest that you allocate 5-10 languages per person, and ask people not only to report what relevant character found, but also report how certain the analysis was an any difficulties of doing the analysis. Then we can compare and maybe find better allocation model.

Our aim is to develop 'code point repertoire' and the task requires some theoretical criteria, that for sure. One way of allocating languages to individual members is to do it on the basis of 'linguistic typology' or by looking at 'language families' or on the basis of 'geographical areas' ie Eurasian, Australian, European etc. On Wed, May 24, 2017 at 11:52 AM, Mats Dufberg <mats.dufberg@iis.se<mailto:mats.dufberg@iis.se>> wrote: Nebiye, I do not fully agree. You will always have some theory in your mind, explicit or implicit. But I do agree that we should have an open mind to let the data be an input on the "theory" that we work from. And I do agree that we should start working on languages to gain experience, and with the risk that we might have to redo the analysis of some languages.

The training I had recommends that if you look at your data unbiased and without a theory in mind,, patterns will emerge. My suggestion is we start by allocating a certain number of languages to each member.

Your question is not clear to me, if I start looking at the languages, I have to have some idea, what to look for.
