RE : Re: [Indic-computing-users] ANARCHY OF KANNADA STANDARDS IN IT.

[<ar...@bg...>]

Dear Mr. Joseph Koshy,

The aim of my mail is to initiate a discussion on the standardisation of Kannada fonts, KSCLP and Unicode. As these standards being announced/forwarded/adopted only with the closed discussion, an open discussion will definitely fine tune the standisation efforts.

I am of the opinian that ISCII is also having its own deficiencies and insufficiencies in NLP, but I have not concluded its sufficiencies. As you are eager to know the solid technical reasoning in proving the sufficiency of ISCII, I am also eager to know the reasoning behind by-passing ISCII and going for KSCLP and how it addresses the issues for Kannada. In this direction I expect any solid reasons / comments / views from my friends Dr. U.B Pavanaja, Mr. C. V Srinatha Sastry and Mr. G. N Narasimha Murthy.

I hope, with the active participation of my friends, the standardisation efforts for Kannada would become a model for other languages.
