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.
No problem. I assumed in my writing that you didn't really mean what
you seem to mean.
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.
Of course; and thanks for the link! In general, no one likes, of
course, to to duplicate work but we equally all like to have our
initiative rewarded.
If this is to be avoided, will do so accordingly.
Sorry again if it hurt some sentiments.
Thanks for stepping in and clarifying.
And I do look forward to discussing with you how best to involve
others engaged in or so wanting to be Indian language localizations.
There is, as you no doubt know, a crying need to further involve
students, independents, businesses and others in the development and
maintenance of localized OOo versions that are freely downloadable
from www.openoffice.org or available via CD and that have the further
quality of being supported.
Best Regards

Hello,
We appreciate your interest in contributing to Openoffice
localisation.
Localisation of Openoffice.org in Bodo is currently under
development
at CDAC. I advise you to please look at some other project to extend
your help.
Bodo Openoffice will be available in another couple of months.
I find your post both wonderful and also disturbing.
J. Brahma clearly wishes to contribute; proximate locale to CDAC
ought not
to be a consideration or requirement for contributions! CDAC, does
not now
nor has it ever had a monopoly on Indian language contributions for
OOo, and
I'd be more than a little shocked if you assert that it does. I
can well
understand that your team has been working on the localization--but
this
ought to be a reason for including others, not excluding them, and to
suggest that *only* your team can participate runs counter to OOo's
philosophy and practice.
I urge you therefore to open your doors to outside efforts--or do
you really
want to come across as essentially hostile to the contributions of
the
community? I am sure that i reconsideration and in the cold light
of day you
will see indeed how your words may be interpreted.
Best Regards
