Hi everybody! Legolas here ... ;)
Just a suggestion for the website guys.
And a request for Kaushik. Kaushik, this was a very informative mail. For a
novice in I18n and l10n, this gives very good pointers. Could you give
permission to me for putting up the contents of this mail on a Wiki page
that I have just started off on my site? Would you mind providing it under
an FDL license?
And here is the suggestion. How about having a Wiki on the
banglapenguin.org site regarding all related issues? We can have a FAQ and
*everybody* can maintain it! I would rather have it running here where all
interested and interesting folks can join in, than at my own web site. ;)
I can help in setting it up, of course.
As an example, I have setup my wiki at
http://www.sandipb.net/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/view/I18n/WebHome
thanks,
Sandip
