Re: [Ankur-core] Prize money for Ubuntu Translations
I am not entirely opposed to the idea, i think its a very good idea. I would need to know the cost of the keyboard and I will link the keyboard to the number of strings translated .. i.e., translate 500 strings and get a free keyboard or something like that.

Dear All, After discussion with Jamil, we have decided to encourage translators by offering cash incentives. We propose making it work this way : 1. For every new 15,000 strings translated (total from all translators), we will look for the best translator 2. Taka 5,000 will be awarded to the person who submitted most strings with 95% or greater accuracy 3. Prize money to be collected from BOL office in Gulshan What do you all think? regards, -iru PS. Funds are coming from my personal account. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Or is it also applicable to Kubuntu? In any case, it sounds encouraging. Hope, Bengali in ubuntu will have greater support because of your efforts!
