Dear Micheal,
Regarding all my accusation, all topics are open to public forum at Myanmar IT Professionals http://www.myanmaritpros.com/. This forum is founded by Christopher Tun http://www.linkedin.com/in/christophertun, former CEO of Inforithm-Maze and first generation Myanmar Unicode Font design. You can find almost all Myanmar IT perople including Myanmar NLP members.
So false statements are not likely to sustain. The forum has history of deleting topic on pure public slander. So why not chellenge there?
Best regards, Okisan

Reality is different. People love Zawgyi (non-gov) over Unicode 5.1 (gov). People don't know usefulness of Unicode 5.1, but just know it does't look good. Frankly I don't think people will install Unicode 5.1 font, unless there is a change of image.
And what are you doing to actively change that image? Nothing? You've set up your own myanmarwikipedia.org, for instance, so they don't have to change from your proprietary font to Unicode. Your own website suggests that you may never support Unicode 5.1:

Here you have attacked Htoo
http://www.zawgyi.org/usr-zawgyi_one-defining_and_defying_the_standard_padau... claiming "monopolistic practices by sysops". This is offensive and you should not keep this on your website.
This page
http://www.zawgyi.org/usr-zawgyi_one-going_wrong_with_users_myanmar_wikipedi... is full of your false allegations.
This comment http://my.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Sithu015 made by Okisan on a my.wikipedia.org talk page suggests to me that he should not be made a sysop, anyway.
On your own front page http://www.zawgyi.org/ you state, wrongly: "MyWikipedia Myanmar Wikipedia: Now accepting Unicode 5.1 MyWikipedia has secret plan to skip Unicode 5.1 to Unicode 5.2. Unicode 5.2 is unheard of, not even Myanmar NLP." This shows that you don't know what you are talking about. New Myanmar characters will be added in Unicode 5.2 or 6.0 or whatever it will be called, but they will not impact the Burmese language; they are for minority languages. Yes, Unicode fonts supporting the Myanmar script should, in due course, support these characters. And here along with nonsense about "secret plans"
http://www.zawgyi.org/usr-zawgyi_one-Myanmar_Wikipedia_Now_accepting_Unicode... you have simply said that you do not want my.wikipedia.org to migrate to Unicode 5.1: "removing [Zawgyi] out of Myanmar Wikipedia is completely unacceptable".
Jimbo, this brings us back to the entente that Andrew and I had about how to move things forward. -- Michael Everson * http://www.evertype.com
