We create open-source tools and create technical documentation on Indian
language computing issues.

Indian language computing has yet to make a impact on the vast
majority of the people living in the Indian subcontinent. There appear
to be at least seven major factors hindering full-fledged adoption of
computing in the Indian subcontinent.  These are examined in greater
detail in our
"[http://indic-computing.sourceforge.net/designaxes/index.html Design Axes]"
paper.  This !SourceForge.Net project attempts to address some
of these factors that adversely impact the use of ''open-source'' for Indian
language computing.

We intend to serve the open-source community in three major ways:
 * By promoting developer education through a freely accessible, "open-source" [http://indic-computing.sourceforge.net/handbook/index.html Handbook] covering Indian language computing.
 * By writing open-source software tools for real-world Indian language computing needs. Our development projects are open to all, and a couple have applicability to areas other than "Indic" computing. 
 * By offering [http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=38057 mailing lists] on which issues related to Indian language software and Indian language standards can be discussed.
