Hello Louis, Oops. I am extremely sorry if any of what i intended to say could be interpreted in this way. Monopoly on L10N of Indic languages is definitely not my purpose. Contributions for Bengali, Punjabi, Gujarati and Telugu have not come from us. And i wonder if monopoly puts me at any advantage personally since I don't gain extra professional mileage out of it.
My mail was more of an information to avoid duplication of work. Please refer to my file issue http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=84912 where i have clearly mentioned our status. If this is to be avoided, will do so accordingly. Sorry again if it hurt some sentiments.
