As answered quickly on IRC, Joey Hess mentioned in his Oldenburg report that Konstantinos and Colin showed some interest. I may add that people working on Hindic script languages localization issues would probably be highly interested as a recent conclusion was that having a kind of graphical installer using GTK and the Pango library is the only way to properly display Hindic languages. (it would also help a lot for all languages needing some preprocessing, such as right-to-left languages or Thai, or probably several other languages) Early post-sarge development is probably the most appropriate moment for reviving all this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
