Google Summer of Code: Good First Issues for ICU4X

[sffc]

Always good to do:

• Write FFIs for things listed in https://github.com/unicode-org/icu4x/blob/main/ffi/capi/tests/missing_apis.txt
• Identify components that are lacking good benchmarks and add Criterion benches for them

If interested in ICU4X development:

• Add test for all locales that have additional data in Collator #4167
• Add tests and/or fix large-magnitude numbers being converted to PluralOperands #2588
• Benchmarks for CodePointTrie in ICU4X and ICU #2445
• Add benchmarks for CodePointTrie::get_range #1946
• Create benchmarks and examples for Properties data structures #1665

Slightly harder starter issues for ICU4X:

• Guard against implicit features #3004
• Add schemars support to ZeroVec #2118
• Consider integrating zerovec into rkyv's serialization benchmark #1258
• Preprocess complex region aliases in CLDR provider #763
• Update locale canonicalization to use bcp47 alias data #746

If interested in Segmentation:

• Last segment of Thai script is always marked as not word-like #4446
• Add a segmenter constructor for pure rule-based segmentation #3612

Aren't we supposed to work on this repo for the ML segmentation project?

[sffc]

Yes, this issue is for ICU4X issues. Please refer to that repo for the ML segmentation project.
