Hi all, Sorry that I haven't made advancements in the initial works. I got too much tangled up in my academics (Semester exams etc). Now I got the breather and am working above schedule and will be touching my first milestone before April first week. Anyways I will load the glossary sooner so that my project won't be orphaned at any stage.
You all should also excuse me that I will only be able to touch OOo1.1.2 Malayalam and that too only for linux OS in the current status of mine. But will be continueing afterwards.
