| ## Why Contribute? |
| |
| ICU is an open source library that is a de-facto industry standard for |
| internationalization libraries. Our goal is to provide top of the line i18n |
| support on all widely used platforms. By contributing your code to the ICU |
| library, you will get the benefit of continuing improvement by the ICU team and |
| the community, as well as testing and multi-platform portability. In addition, |
| it saves you from having to re-merge your own additions into ICU each time you |
| upgrade to a new ICU release. |
| |
| ## Current Process |
