"viranaso" is Donald Rogers, who has submitted a JCA and has had write access to
our CVS tree for a few months now, with which he's been doing a fine job of
improving the website of our subdomain eo.ooo.org. I'm assuming he's the "Donald
Evan Rogers" listed on http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=35255
but I'll ask him by copy of this message to confirm this.


Yes: one and the same. My full name is Donald Evan Rogers.

Donald: would you also be able to look into Eike's other queries too please?


I feel at a disadvantage here since I am new to locale programming and
I have not been involved in OOo programming. I was just trying to help
to get things going by putting together most of the Esperanto bits needed.

As for the data: you should make sure that it at least validates against the
current locale.dtd.
The only copy of locale.dtd that I could find does not contain the element LC_INDEX. After renoval of the LC_INDEX section, eo.xml is valid.

Other things that jumped to my eye: The LC_INDEX section
lists only A-Z, aren't there other letters in Esperanto that are not to be
simply appended to an index list by their Unicode order?
None of the other locales use this element. Should we leave it out? The documentation at
translate.sourceforge.net/doc/locales-openoffice.html
does not show how to set this up.
The Esperanto alphabetical order is abcÄdefgÄhÄijÄklmnoprsÅtuÅvz
plus upper case.


The FollowPageWord
elements aren't translated, p. and pp. are the English abbreviations.
I don't know of any standard abbreviation for "paÄoj", so I left it as "pp."

And for
couriosity: did someone perform the non-product tests mentioned in locale.dtd?
No. I am not familiar with these tests. Presumably one has to get a spreadsheet program to read the eo.xml file?
