If you say you are A$$holes then what can I do!!! But I have a little point for you. We (I could say *you*, but as I’m also a Bangali, I said *we*) was only talking about Khanda-Ta but not going through any perfect procedure.
I worked for my language and still working. It doesn't matter for me if the source is closed or open. Let me tell you my story. We had too many lacking in rendering Bangla (still have some in Linux). If I didn't work with M$ then you'd not be able to use perfect Bangla on Windows today. Do you have any other option? You may say that we could have switch to Linux rather stick with Windows. But the fact is still the number of Windows users is countless in BD and I tried to deliver perfect Bangla for them through M$. For example, most of your mails has a unique thing in the header "User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0+ (Windows/20050531)" That means you are also using the.... Jamil Bhai, I didn't get paid for that as I never expect anything for OSS. The war was only for language and nothing more. My father fought in 1971 to make this country free and took a bullet in his leg, did anyone pay him for that? That is why I work. P-Alo was taking interview about OSS inside the stall and after finishing he called me outside and asked me some detail about my MVP. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bhai was there and you can ask him too. I didn't encourage any journalist to push my MVP news rather OSS. You can have a look at other papers. They made reports based on my interview and nothing about windows. Even P-Alo didn't make any comment on there news during the fair. So how come you be so mean... By any means we are helpless. We like to talk rather work. Some big guys always took money from our government and see Unicode consortium members to sort out Bangla but actually doing nothing. But to sort the things out we need a shoulder to put the gun and pull the trigger. I choose Microsoft and Adobe as the shoulder and pulled the trigger. Finally we got Khanda-Ta. There are some other issues and still some going one and I believe you know none of them. Finally I'll tell you that if you don't want Ankurian/Lugger to work for M$ any longer then tell me frankly rather shooting word bullets.
