[Indic-computing-devel] Localisation on Personal Access Devices

[Trevor W. <tre...@ya...>]

Hello there guys/gals...;)

  At the lab i am working with some Handheld personal
access devices of the likes of the Ipaq h3650-h3850 on
which i have gnu-linux up nd running.

  I hav quite an uphill task here....but i am sure
with the community support nd pple like u to help me
out with it..............this will turn out to be a
swell of a challenge...;)

  Since u'll have been working with localisation
issues related to the desktop x86 config's for such a
long time.....it was obvious that we should begin this
thread here.

 As of now.....my objective at the lab is to have
Localisation work started on these Personal Access
devices as i have mentioned above.  Encore, one of the
constituents of the Simputer trust has  also promised
a Commercially available framework sometime down the
line that would enable third party application
developers to add value to their product by
integrating Local language support in a modular form
onto the Simputer.

 All that sounds hunky dory......but for Bigger issues
like the Simputer itself, nd biggest of all the
COMMERCIAL ness of the Framework for Localisation.

 Pls help me get started with this initiative which i
could help snowball into larger efforts targeted
towards Localisation on the available Handhelds in the
market as of now.....

 My focus being on......

--> Ipaq h3600-h3800-h3900 series.
--> Sharp Zaurus 
--> Simputer...................if i am ever able to
lay my hands on the mean baby...:)

 Ur bouques/brickbats r invited ASAP.

Trevor
