[Indic-computing-users] localization saga

[Guntupalli K. <kar...@in...>]

Hi all, 
  For some time have been thinking if we could put a complete story of
Localization activities ,primarily wrt. IndLinux project. How it
began, how it progressed, its milestones and achievements, people
behind it, lessons learnt, some interesting experiences/stories to
tell etc.  I will start writing from my side on IndLinux ( with help
from Prakash, Venky - cofounders of Indlinux ), and would also like
volunteers to share their experiences, how they got involved, their
motivations, the work they did etc. And later some user experiences
too. 
  For major community participation will soon start up blogs/forums
part on http://www.indlinux.net , but meanwhile all are welcome to
share their experiences.
 Would also like to see if other language teams also can write up
their story, so also other teams / individuals who have been active in
Indic localization activity. 
  It would be good to have such a log / writing , which can be
aggregated and compiled into a single volume  for future reference &
for anyone to know how it all happened. Otherwise all the experiences,
lessons etc will be lost in time.
  No time frame for this but at least for IndLinux part will be
getting something out by March end.

 Would like others veiws on this ( & also contributions ).

Regards,
Karunakar
