It will be a great opportunity to come up with virtual keyboard as required for each language with participation of the relevant users. Active indic language wikipedians can play a key role in this initiative. The proposed mode of standard development is open for participation by every one. Though for the final balloting and to decide on any alternatives, IEEE-SA membership will be needed, which again is being offered at reduced rates for Indians. The official Work Group will be kick off in January. I request interested people to subscribe to the mailing list of the initiative<http://listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=indic-input-stds&A=1> .
