Hi, We are happy to announce the Regional Language group for Indic Languages as per the Regional Group plan mentioned here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Regional_Groups
This would be a group for coordinating Openoffice related activities of many Indian languages. As per the internal discussion we had among the interested people from various languages, we are listing the following objectives 1. Language support for Openoffice- a) Resolving Rendering issues b)Lingua Components-spellcheckers, hyphenation dictionaries c) Language specific bugs . Forming a group of people from all languages, identifying the issues, testing each version in its beta stage, filing/tracking bugs. And preparing testcases on the above items. 2. User Support part, As the adoption of Open Document format increasing day by day, we are going to have a big user base. Having a support mailing list/forum/wiki for per language would be a nice idea .Thereby we can get inputs for #1 too. 3. Migration : There are lot of documents in proprietory formats, proprietary/legacy font encoded documents. we have seen many questions on migrating these documents to ODF in various FSUGs. Developing extensions/converters , helping the users to resolve the issues in migration.. etc can be another area that the group can help 4. Contribution: Many Indic related features/issues need contribution from developers who know the language. Group can identify those areas and can help the international developer community by linking local contributors to them. The group can act as point of contact to reach up the language communities and gettting the issues/contributions back to Openoffice projects I will soon create a wiki page for the group and will be putting details of the activities.
