Dear Ajay, You are right, Vartalaap is a Unicode based chat system. But apart from chat it also provide other facility like archive and replay of session, support for virtual classroom (A classroom on the net), roaming profile etc. We are porting the Vartalaap on Linux, we have started the project and will implement it within 6 month. The plan is to develop a multi-lingual communication application with multi-lingual user interface. The Vartalaap server is running on Windows 2000. And right now there is no plan to port the server on Linux. I think Vartalaap chat server is the first chat server running in India based on IRC protocol with Unicode support. The server address is vartalaap.ncb.ernet.in and port no. is 6667. Any body can connect to this server using IRC client like Mirc and can communicate with other connected user. I have sent a request to unicode.org and waiting for reply. Can you tell like how will register my application with Unicode. B'coz I have just sent a mail to the organization. Our project is not sponsored by Microsoft and we are trying our best to get the proper recognitions. I'll very thankful for your guidance to get the recognition. Our Linux patch IndiX is able to provide the support for Hindi and we have also extended this project for other languages. We are also working on the project BharateeyaOO.o, which is a project to enable Indian language support in OpenOffice.org on Windows and Linux. Windows work is near to finish and we will start working on Linux very soon. Looking forward for your guidance.
