No, I am sorry. People really read when they need it. The GNU-Linux book that I wrote in Bangla was kept on the GLT site for a long time. Around two years. Then, when we got the information that a lot of copies are getting printed out in different colleges, we decided to publish in hard copy primarily because the cost of a book for a student will be much less than a print-out. And, this Unicode and Bangla together is going to be there for a very very long time to come. A lot of people will start learning what it is. Why the Dictionary project of GMH does excite me that much? We are yet to enter into an electronic age, at least in Bangla, most probably because we lack an OCR, breaking the crucial text-database linkage. The whole Bangla lineage is entirely absent electronically. But, it will come, together with this Unicode thing that you people are doing here. Websites and database sites full of Unicode Bangla text: this is the future: we will need it, and as we need, people will read the primer too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
