Hi Folks,
I was just going through the "Shortlist of Talks" for this
year's FLOSS.in.
http://foss.in/2005/schedules/
I see that Shantanu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Shantanuo) of
en and sa wiki has registered for a talk. Has any else registered for
talk on wikipedia and Indian language projects? It'd be nice if there
are more talks about wikipedia and particularly Unicode, so that more
people would know better about it.
- h.p.

Hi friends,
Has anyone among you upgraded to Ubuntu breezy badger? I
observed that there's some issue with SCIM on the latest Ubuntu
release. (SCIM-m17n is needed for the kannada input. Not sure how many
of you have been using that, again)
Most GNOME applications hang when you have SCIM daemon running.
More details here:

Although I haven't delved into what the exact issue might be, a quick
strace confirmed that the applications were hanging at the point where
SCIM gets initialized.
Thought of updating you folks on this so that anyone else who might've
faced the same issue might shed more light on this. If any of you are
upgrading to breezy, just take a note of this and if you find a
workaround, please inform us about it as well.
cheers,
- h.p.

From the page:
"It is a murder of the Kannada script. Ironically, the main page
claims (in this handicapped Kannada) that the encyclopedia is 'usable
and modifiable by everybody'."
hmm...
When would people start reading the support pages first before writing
like this, for a change?
