Re: [Indic-computing-users] Indic Computing -- Appeal for Funds

[Krishnamurthy N. <kn...@ya...>]

Dear Venky,

As a volunteer of the Indic-computing 'open' project
I have some questions and comments regarding this
'incorporation of indic-computing' project.

1. First, this 'indic-computing' project which is    
hosted on sourceforge is a volunteer effort like 
50,000+ other projects on sourceforge. None of them
is incorporated or anything like that.

2. By definition, only committed, professional
developers and other resource experts are expected to
participate in such project, with common, shared
vision.

3. There are contributors from all over the world,
including those who are not of Indian origin and so
there is nothing specific to geographic affiliation.

4. All of us, who are committed to indic-computing,
(standards, development, use) should be motivated
enough to actively contribute whether we are staffed
in
an 'incorporated' indic-computing project or not.

So, to that extent, what I feel is that we should
first 
strongly encourage all the developers on the indic
list to actively submit their projects and make
progress (it's happening on various Linux-based
projects - a more concerted effort, I think, is
required at standards level and at systems  and
frameworks level (X display systems etc).

These are just my views. Thanks.

cheers,
Nagarajan
