 why the f#$%$ does the ISO website make you pay to look at their standards documentation online? https://www.iso.org just noticed that #tokipona is listed as having an official 3 letter code name on https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/tok and just wanted to look at the same data not on some creepy missionary website which is apparently what sil.org is since they mention something about the bible on their front page 9 comments
well for anyone looking to read a metric ton of ISO standards and feels like pirating the hell out of them just for the fuck of it, seems #zlib has alot! but sadly not the one I wanted to look at. https://b-ok.asia/s/?q=author%3AISO&e=1&order=bestmatch ok well it looks like SIL might be the one who manages this ISO standard anyway (which is sorta weird) but heres the pdf of the approval for #TokiPona to get its own "official" 3 letter abbreviation of TOK https://iso639-3.sil.org/sites/iso639-3/files/change_requests/2021/2021-043.pdf

@ButterflyOfFire insane. I am a big standards fan and think lots more things should get standards but not if they are kept by greedy capitalists @liaizon I once had to cite an ISO standard in a paper, and in trying to do so I learned that India's Department of Economic something-or-other has (or at least had) a collection of ISO documents they'd bought, stuck their own branding on, and uploaded to archive.org. Each document had a long preamble about how freely available standards documentation is an important public good. I don't know if they're still up somewhere. I wish I could remember all the details |

@liaizon omg, don’t get me started on what a daylight robbery ISO standards are. i maybe, very maybe, get obscure niche best practises that are only of any meaning for big corporations. but stuff like norms for the pictograms on warning signs? stuff that’s a clear public benefit? absurd.
