[Indic-computing-devel] Clarification

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

Hi All,

Let me clarify about the white paper requested for the indic-computing
documentation effort. 

As long as the topic is relevant to serious, concrete issues about
computing in Indian languages, you are free in the choice of topic.  It
need not be centered around the events or outcome of the workshop,
although it could be.  

The important thing is that it will be some useful content culled out of
the annals of our collective brain, that can then be documented, freely
distributed, and discussed (both at the workshop and through other
communication channels), so that as many people around that are
interested in indic-computing can learn about it and stuff it into their
own respective cranial annals.  ;)

Here are some possible examples:

Indic-Rendering HOWTO (I think Keyur is doing this)
The Advantages of a Remington Keyboard Layout
Gnome2: IN HINDI!!!! - Lessons Learned
Gnome2: IN MALAYALAM!!!
KDE3: IN KANNADA!!!!
Vernacular Spell-Checkers
Voice Recognition Applications for Indic Languages

So, you get the point.

Please get back to me in a couple of days if you can...

Regards,
Tapan
