As a community resource, it would be exactly that: a way to learn how others in the community are using UBL; an opportunity to clarify technical terms whose meaning is clear to experts but not to novices; a tool for getting more people interested in UBL by appealing to their intuition. Standards documents are hard to read, because they have to be so general and so precise; a wiki-like resource would complement the standard, and always refer back to the standard for the normative definition. > I'll rattle their chain again to see if I can do the bulk upload of > 2000 definitions, one per wiki page.

I imagine one wiki page per type would be most suitable, and allow easy cross-linking. Please let me know if I can be of any help with exporting the definitions to a human-readable format. > I was just suggestiong joining so that your contribution to UBL > could become an official UBL project, rather than a colloquial UBL > project.
