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.
Thanks for summing this up. Doing this in as transparent a manner as
possible would mean that folks who look into the arcane ends of things
like rendering engines, fonts, keyboard layouts can also track and
provide assessment of changes which would (and ideally should) lead
towards a solution that is pragmatic and practical.
I'd suggest that if the defects are listed, then the fossconf can become
a venue for assessment and way forward discussions.
