Not only bengali people living in Chennai, all Bengali people in other
parts of world will also benefit. When a Bengali student wants to
learn something technical he can reach your contents (through google
search) and benefit.
True. So then, no one other than people who know bengali are going to benefit
from them. Same goes for any mono languaged post.
Chennai is not only for Tamil people and ILUGC is for all. Your
thinking is not wrong.
Well then, why exclude us from understanding good discussions that may happen
by writing in language only that is not understood by us.And not caring to
provide an English translation.
That will make ILUGC a truly rainbow list representing the whole of
India. If we can pull off this successfully, that will be a remarkable
achievement.
Oh yeah, but I can't tell the difference between few language fonts. So are
many other people. It will be a rainbow but people will look at selected colors
only.
I am able to view
1. English
2. ??????
3. ?????
4. ??????
5. ?????
6. ???????
7. ?????
8. ??????
9. ??????
in my computer and will not choose filter out any of the mails based
on language.
Nice. But I am not installing more fonts on my machine. Btw, I cant read 6, 7,
8, 9... So I do not know which language is which.
Why 100's of filters? How many languages you think will be used in the
list? Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, Bengali, Telugu, Kannada - 6 languages
at the most? A few more? Why you exaggerate to 100's?
Why are you considering only 6 languages. You yourself listed 9. Why other
language people do not have rights? Or is there a restriction?
100 was an understatement. ... Here's a quote from article?"The Indian census
of 1961 recognised 1,652 different languages in India"
Who knows, we can develop a language engine to translate content >from
one Indian language to another.? (As Rajagopal suggests in his next
mail)
Would love to see that happening; I mean in for real.
I sincerely hope that you are arguing for the right to post in Bengali
not to deny the right to post in Tamil.
Not really.1. Not arguing
2. Its a voice to tell you guys that when you post in "only Tamil" ?lot of
people feel excluded from the dicussion even though we want to learn of
interesting things that may have been discussed in the post..
3. I am not denying right to post in Tamil, but supporting the nice behavior
of?courtesy to provide a short english summary in the same post, so that we
don't feel excluded and it benefits all.
4. If everyone goes makes small small groups inside ilugc for discussing only
in their language, then it beats the whole purpose of ILUG - "Indian Linux User
Group" - Chennai.Please do not make it "Chennai Linux User Group - India"?
5. The more and more single language only threads are discussed, the less the
percentage of content from ilugc that will be understood globally is
available.This list has been one of the best I have subscribed to, but then if
you guys want to make sub groups and do closed discussions; hate to break it to
you, but you are not being a nice.?
ThanksKrish
