What do you mean NO?
I respect "Wikipedia", but not you.
I respect you, and I ask you to do the same for me. I am trying to be
helpful here and bring all parties together for the best interest of the
Myanmar language community.
Thanks. I do if you have unbias and objective thinking.
What I mean by "no" is that it is not appropriate for you to run a website
named "myanmarwikipedia.org" without permission or assistance from us.
I am following Wikipedia ways. Our group will be happy if we get assistance
from you.
It is not for profit and also mean content for
my.wikipedia.org <
http://my.wikipedia.org>gt;.
However the donation will NOT go to
my.wikipedia.org <
http://my.wikipedia.org>gt;.
We will NOT donate the domain name, instead I request the Foundation to
lease temporary domain name of
zawgyi.wikipedia.org <
http://zawgyi.wikipedia.org>gt;. This will assue that the Foundation has
some control of our work.
It is entirely possible that something like that will be done, but first we
need to continue our respectful conversation so that, working together, we
are all confident that we have decided on a good path forward.
That is usual way of talk at first. Thanks.
It is rather appreance that
myanmarwikipedia.org <
http://myanmarwikipedia.org> is to seperate
Myanmar community, for those
who love Zawgyi and for those who love Unicode 5.1.
I oppose any separation of the Myanmar community on the basis of loving a
particular font!
Who is the first seperating?
We are speaking of issues of sharing knowledge with
all people - and it is
important that the community be kept strong and working together in harmony
for that goal. There is a complex situation with the fonts, yes. But the
solution is not to split into two websites, the solution is to find a way to
support everyone together.
I hope you do find a way.
Could you clearify that Mr Eversion's proposed translation task is ZERO
COST or not?
There will be no cost to you or the community. Beyond that, I don't know
what you are asking.
Nice words.
