Re: [Indic-computing-devel] Hi All!

[Ajay G. <aja...@ya...>]

For a minute, I was taken away by your description and thought you guys were
re-inventing the wheel. In essence, "Vartalaap" is a Unicode port of a chat
app, right?

PS: I am just trying to get the right description and not trying to mull down
on NCST contributions. I think you guys are doing great. 

How about getting enrolled in Unicode.org or pango.org? And helping get a
Indian version of Linux out of door, unless you guys are sponsored by
Microsoft. You guys developed a flavor of X that supported Hindi and still
didn't push to get it adopted at Xfree86.org or X.org. At the best, you can
help trolltech.com roll out a version of Qt that supports Indic scripts.

Not only will it be good for NCST to get international recognition, believe me
that most of developers in Linux world will consider you guys Indic gurus.

Give it a thought and take care,

-Ajay.
