[Indic-computing-devel] Request for Participation

[Tapan S. P. <ta...@ya...>]

Hi,

You all may have seen the post by Ashish on the -devel and -announce 
lists today about the upcoming Indic-Computing workshop in Bangalore.

In case for whatever reason you wont be able to join us, we would still 
like your participation in the workshop.  If you would be kind enough to 
write a small white paper for the conference proceedings, relevant to 
technical or other issues in indic-computing, we would be very happy to 
include it in the proceedings we distribute at the workshop and afterwords.

For the white paper feel free to choose any topic that you feel is 
relavant to local language computing in India.  Of course, the most 
detailed, informative and widely applicable white papers will be found 
most useful by the community. Hint... ;)

If you intend to do this, please send me a proposed title for your white 
paper as soon as you can, so I can include it in the TOC.  You can then 
send the white papers directly to me and I will edit and collate them 
into the final collection.

If you want to discuss possible topics for white papers, float em to me 
or Koshy.

Talk to u soon,
Tapan

[Aside:  I sent this using mozilla because I wanted to try this new 
UTF-8 .sig.  Of the mail clients on my system (balsa, sylpheed, and 
mozilla), only mozilla seemed to support UTF-8 message encoding. 
Additionally it somehow is just magically working that I did a simple 
copy and paste from a Yudit window and now I can magically see my name 
in Devanagri in the .sig below.  Cool!

I had expected to see junk b/c I hadnt really configured any fonts. 
This is out of the box.  Not sure why it works.  Also I couldnt seem to 
spell my name right.  It looks like Parkhi.  Prb, like someone said, the 
GSUB table aint working right in Mo.  Anyway, Im happy.;)  Mo rocks.]
