Hoi,
The Wikimedia Localisation team has been very much active in this field
and we have implemented the inscript one standard as well as other existing
keyboard methods. We have met with CDAC and Red Hat about our current
Narayam implementations and our and their future plans. Our notion is that
using standard compliant and freely licensed technology is the way forward.
Thanks for the update.
On our road map there are the unknowns of how to
support smart phones,
tablet computers, not only for the official languages of India but for all
of them including scripts ..
We are very happy to participate in any project that has as its goal to
create standardised input methods for any kind of device. We can provide an
environment for testing; we can support experimental keyboard methods side
by side at
translatewiki.net. When things become stable, we are quite
happy to expose the world to new standards on the WMF wikis.
Is this the kind of support that would help you ?
Certainly! It will be a great opportunity to come up with virtual keyboard
as required for each language with participation of the relevant users.
Active indic language wikipedians can play a key role in this initiative.
The proposed mode of standard development is open for participation by
every one. Though for the final balloting and to decide on any
alternatives, IEEE-SA membership will be needed, which again is being
offered at reduced rates for Indians. The official Work Group will be
kick off in January. I request interested people to subscribe to the mailing
list of the
initiative<http://listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=indic-input-stds&a…
.
