US Customary Units #357

Closed GregJohnStewart closed 3 years ago

GregJohnStewart commented 3 years ago

Hello,

It would be great to have the US customary units available in Units (or similar listing of standardized units).

While I agree Metric is of course better, there is enough of a market to warrant the inclusion of these units. It shouldn't be too hard, as they are even based on their Metric counterparts by the US.

Hello Greg,

Thanks, but they already are in systems-common as an extension module on top of Indriya. Please check it out and if you're missing a unit there or find a problem file a ticket in its issues.

Thanks!

... do you guys need help with documentation? Just getting started with the library, and it looks like proper docs are incredibly sparse

Yes happy to take help, especially uom-systems had contributions here and there before, see files like CONTRIBUTORS or contributors.txt in the subsequent modules, and it's a little easier there because unlike this module (the RI of JSR 385) you do not need to join the JCP as an Associate Member or higher.
