Wiki had, as it has put on it's site, more than 1000 editors as of 2005 for
the articles to monitor. But do we indeed have such kind of resource
privilege. I don't think so.


 I don't know about your wiki, but I have had enough of my share of
 administrating public wikis, and I am ok with the loss of privacy that
 you are probably concerned with.


Besides, as dear friend Karunakar has already pointed; having a track of
regular contributors to the project has it's own share of benefits too.

[ilugd] GPRS usb modems

2007-12-17 Thread Vikas Rawal
I would like to know about experiences of people regarding compatibility of
GPRS data cards/usb modems with linux. 

I understand that Tata Indicom has usb modems that support linux. They
say so on their website. But I am not too keen to buy a Tata Indicom
connection because of limited geographical coverage.

Other options are BSNL, Airtel and Reliance. 

Airtel explicitly claims compatilibility with Windows only. I do not
know if BSNL is giving USB modems at all. I wonder if one could buy GSM USB
modems in the open market and stick in a sim card (Airtel/BSNL). If
yes, which ones are compatible with linux. I know one could buy PCMCIA
data cards in the open market and use with Airtel/BSNL sim.

Which USB modems of Reliance are compatible with linux? 

Would appreciate any information.

Am aware of that and prefer not to use it, since then replies land up 
ONLY in my inbox and not in the list folder.  Messes up threading of

Much simpler if people would just use the appropriate tool (in this case 
the reply to list function) for the appropriate job :)

I am using GPRS with my Linux Desktop (FC4) and it runs fine. I
connect using my Nokia N73 with a USB data cable and the connection is
a BSNL Postpaid. The speed is average 4KB/s just sufficient for
browsing and moderate downloads.

 I understand that Tata Indicom has usb modems that support linux. They

Tata and Reliance offer wireless internet using CDMA technology. The
speed you get with CDMA is better than GPRS but still not so great,
about 4-5 times of what you get with GPRS.

 Other options are BSNL, Airtel and Reliance.

 Airtel explicitly claims compatilibility with Windows only. I do not

In my view BSNL GPRS is much cheaper. Rs.100p.m. for Postpaid
connection and Rs.199p.m. for unlimited GPRS in home circle. If you
intend using GPRS then best option in my view is to have a GPRS
capable handset with USB datacable and a BSNL CellOne connection.

A decent GPRS capable handset with Edge technology (whatever that
means) would cost much more than the USB/PCMCIA modems. The USB/PCMCIA
modems cost less than Rs. 3000. I do not know of a phone which gives
you GPRS/Edge at this price.

Also, from what I have seen, the performance of phones in terms of
speeds over GPRS connection varies a lot.

[ilugd] Taking a look... at some recent developments in Urdu computing (from BytesForAll, South Asia)

2007-12-17 Thread Frederick Noronha [फ़र ेदरिक नोर ोनया]
BYTESFORALL: A LOOK AT SOME URDU DEVELOPMENTS...

Some useful and interesting links from the UrduComputing mailing list
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/urdu_computing

URDU NVU RELEASE

Huda Sarfraz [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The current release of
the Nvu localization includes the Urdu Nvu installer for
Windows, which has it's GUI in Urdu. Work to be done for
future releases includes changing the layout direction of
Urdu Nvu to right-to-left. For download and installation
details, please go to Urdu Nvu Windows Installer.
 http://www.crulp.org/software/localization/OSS/NVu.html

Nvu (pronounced N-view) is a WYSIWYG HTML editor, based on
the Composer component of Mozilla Application Suite and Gecko
1.7. It is a common WYSIWYG editor for Linux and is intended
to be an open source equivalent to proprietary software like
Microsoft FrontPage and Macromedia Dreamweaver (although to
date it is missing many features they possess). As a WYSIWYG
editor, it is designed to be easy for novice users and does
not require any knowledge of HTML or CSS to use. The project
was started by and sponsored by Linspire. Linspire hired
Daniel Glazman, former Netscape Communications Corporation
employee and CEO/Founder of Disruptive Innovations, to be
lead developer. Nvu is available for Linux, Mac OS X and
Microsoft Windows, and it can be built successfully on any
platform with the Netscape Portable Runtime. (Source: Wikipedia)

ONLINE DICTIONARY:

Aijaz Akhtar [EMAIL PROTECTED]: A very good
Dictionary is now available on line. Its huge database,
Unicode nature, and Nafees Web Naskh font give it an edge
over other on line dictionary sites. Visit here:
http://www.urduenglishdictionary.org/

[Works fine in FireFox 2.0.0.9, on Windows XP-SP2 with Urdu
fonts and phonetic keyboard installed for MS Office.  When
doing Urdu to English search, you will need to switch your
keyboard to Urdu from the language bar.]

* * *

GNU/LINUX WINDOW MANAGER xfce IN URDU:


Aijaz Akhtar [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Very good news. A
low end yet powerful window maker for Linux is now translated
into Urdu by Makki. XFCE may not be as beautiful an interface
as KDE or Gnome for Linux, yet it is powerful and consumes
less processor power and is light on RAM requirements, making
it suitable even on a pentium-1 or 2 machine with 400-500 MHZ
processor (Correct me if I am wrong). So now one can download
this, and configure your Linux (with XFCE preloaded, since it
is not bundled with in some Linux disros) to use Urdu
interface of Linux. Download presently from here:
 
http://www.4shared.com/file/28497917/a3c84cdc/xfce_441_Urdu_Translation_by_Makki.html
Soon to be uploaded in the download section of
http://urduweb.org. Mohammed Ali Makki had already translated
and made available Urdu Slax earlier that is available here:
http://www.urduweb.org/mehfil/local_links.php?catid=19

HINDI TO URDU TRANSLITERATOR:

Abdur Radhid: [EMAIL PROTECTED] A beta version of Hindi to
Urdu Transliterator is available on line. Please give your
feedback. Visit here: http://hindi2urdu.tripod.com

COMPILED IN PUBLIC INTEREST BY:
* * *

TYPING IN URDU, UBUNTU ETC:

Ali Hussnain Shah: [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a starting point
you can use crulp's Urdu Layout for Linux at
http://www.crulp.org/software/localization/keyboards/linuxphonetickb.html

There should be one text file containing the key mappings.
You can us it to learn and change it as you like and use that
on linux.

After you have developed a standard keyboard and if this
should be included in all Linux distributions, submitting it
to xorg (opensource implementation X Window System, on which
KDE,Gnome are based) would be better.. their mailing list is
at http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

After submission to xorg it will be included in all linux
distributtions (debian, suse, ubuntu ...) as soon the
distribution uses a new version of the X system. I think
Sergey Udaltsov is responsible for handling of the X input
system there in the list.

PAKTYPE NASKH BASIC FONT:

Lateef Sagar Shaikh [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have created
PakType Naskh Basic 1.0 font, which is available at:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/paktype
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/paktype/files/NaskhBasic/1.0/

USB/PCMCIA modems offered by Reliance/Tata will bound you to these
operators. You cannot use Tata's USB/PCMCIA with Reliance network 
vice-versa. Plus, also have a look at their rates for time-based 
data-based plans. I am not sure about the case with GPRS modems.


 Also, from what I have seen, the performance of phones in terms of

I have used Airtel GPRS here in Gujarat. Compared to that I find
BSNL's GPRS much better, at least in Gujarat. Besides N73, I have also
used Samsung X-700 with same results.

It seems Airtel has different rates depending upon the Circle you are
in. Here in Ahmedabad, Airtel offers GPRS on prepaid @Rs.15/day
unlimited which can be activated/deactivated by an SMS.. It earlier
used to be Rs.10/day. The same thing on Airtel postpaid was earlier
costing Rs.600/month.

around 5,500. The unlimited access plan from Reliacne will cost Rs. 1500 in
Karnataka (not 100% sure), which is way too costlier than speedier BROADBAND
plans from any other service provider. Also, you can think of a mobile phone
as an alternative option to a data card (CDMA). Presence of reliance being
wider than TATA Indicom, Reliance is better than TATA in this regards.
