I understand that the currently accepted way towards fixing is to get
the state language body to raise the issue with TDIL who in turn
would
raise it at an Unicode meeting. This, unless TN state is a member
of the
Unicode Consortium itself (which I have heard in some quarters is a
thing that is being considered)
As Kenneth pointed out, Tamil is an official language in Ceylon,
Malaysia, Singapore also. A joint effort would be needed, I guess.
DIT is a member of the Unicode Consortium. NRC-FOSS comes under DIT.
NRC-FOSS has some influence with DIT. Anything presented to DIT
through NRC-FOSS will be listened to, if not acted upon. I suggest
proposals be formulated and presented. I had suggested that to
Ramanraj also, but he didnt pursue it with us. This could be a useful
subject for a sprint for fossconf also - getting large number of
opinions on the defects in the present Tamil Unicode and suggestions
for change. But it needs to be taken seriously and studied seriously
and serious people be involved so a serious proposal be made rather
than making half-baked uninformed comments. (This last sentence is
not aimed at anyone in particular so please dont start a flame war on
that). Anyone interested? It means contacting all the stakeholders in
this domain and eliciting reactions/participation from them. Also
contacting people in Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Singapur.
