Re: Bengali (bn) as a Supported Language in Gnome 2.20
Hi, Initially it was only Bengali (bn). Bengali is the first language of Bangladesh. And some parts of India use it. We have both Bangladeshi and Indian volunteers for this l10n project. Later it forked into Bengali (India) bn_IN, cause there are some differences in the dialect.

I do not think we will accept any new bn_* team unless the (current) Bengali coordinator agrees with that change, which in this case means that Taneem Ahmed will have to agree with the change. Otherwise, we will have to solve the coordinatorship issue first before the split can even be considered. Hi Cristian, Bengali translation till now has been done by Ankur group, and I guess most of the Ankur members from India feels that it makes sense to have bn_IN. My personal view is not to take this path, but I respect their wish and agree to the new bn_IN team for the Indian Bengali translation with the details Sayamindu has provided. I guess there is no point having a bn_BD team for Bangladeshi Bengali, and the current bn team can carry on. Keeping that in mind I would like to hand over the bn team coordinator postion to Jamil Ahmed [EMAIL PROTECTED]. All our [EMAIL PROTECTED] are forwarded aliases, so I guess [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be used for security reasons. I would also like to thank you for all your help through out the time I was involved with the project. Ok, Jamil, you are now the new coordinator for Bengali. Welcome!
