Re: [Indic-computing-users] [TechWorkingGroup] Technology Map Format

[Arun M <ar...@gn...>]

Hi,

  its not clear what is the role of Working Group members. 
It may be better to put one person in charge of group and made
responsible. Also Members must take a task under his hand and will be
responsible for it. (I dont want to take any now ;) enough work for next
2-3 months, so better remove me. I will help Baiju to prepare a
technical doc on l10n in GNU/Linux and will contribute to Handbook.)

Also need to start an archive of Free Fonts, modmaps etc.
