 Hi All,

 On behalf of Ankur English to Bengali dictionary project,
 I am delighted to welcome Rezwan, as the new editor of
 the dictionary project. He will be joining Dipankar Das
 and myself to have editing access on Ankur dictionary
 database.

 Some of you may already know Rezwan. He is  a prolific
 blogger. He blogs on wide-ranging issues, including several
 important social issues. He is a regular contributor to
 Global Voices Online [1] both in English and Bengali. You
 can read more in his blog

Welcome Mr. Rezwan. It's a pleasure to have you.

We (Ankur Bangladesh) are thinking of arranging several *typeshop *(typing
workshop!?:)) in various University in Bangladesh. The idea is to input the
Bangla Academy dictionary in a single Database. I shall inform the list all
the updates once I have a draft plan.

 As it could be a major upgrade for Probhat layout, it would be nice
 if people post their other concerns/comments/usability issues that they
 might have!!


If possible think about the dot / fullstop / period symbol; to get this
either go to numeric keypad, or change the layout into English again.

Shift+8 is ৎ (খন্ডত) in Probhat layout, you might have missed that,
it is still a star *

By the way, I planning to include Lekho. Is the Lekho layout keyboard worth
 the effort? How many people are using it?


Can't say the number. But, never heard of anybody (from ankur) using Lekho
anymore.

Sad but true, why?
drawback of our language?
or our (l10n activists) Banlga vocabulary isn't rich enough?

in the latter case we can learn, or consult with ভাষাবিদ (bnvasabeed/bn)

1. Support for fonts used by Ananda Bazar Patrika (Bengali)

ABP support has some known issues but works pretty well. Many thanks

groups were the

group distributed their Bangla font, keyboard and

The participation
was sponsored by BdOSN.

BdOSN started a mailing list after the BASIS fair to

OSS related ideas, plans, actions, events, success
stories and so on.
The group was moderated in the initial period. But
from now on it is
open to all. Please join and share your ideas.
