Hi, I have to disagree with you on one matter Nishan. We must actively discourage such efforts. When there is no overall standard for doing something, people will propagate several conflicting ad-hoc standards. And when the real standard does arrive, it will take a long time to subdue the rest. Remember how much problem the conflicting Mathrubhumi and Manorama fonts used to cause? And remember how much time it took for Mathrubhumi and Manorama to accept Unicode after it was established? They didn't even bother to follow the set ISCII standard. This set Malayalam content generation back by several years - and it recovered only due to Unicode. Unlike in case of promoting FOSS, I believe that we must take tough and strict unilateral stance on promoting unified open standards.
