Hi Charles,

We all know that too well, and I don't criticize that. Ressources is the main issue for NL projects.
The point is that we need to find a way to stem the attrition. That is a critical issue at this juncture of L10n.
I would like to set up an informal structure encompassing every Indic
project on OOo, wether they are government-funded or not, that would be
able to mutualize ressources for all the Indic communities. The point
being that even though India is a large country with many languages, if
OOo succeeds, say, in Bengal, this success may "contaminate" the Andra
Pradesh, or the Gujarat regions. So, there is a strategic interest for
putting up this informal group of projects. This will also help
situations like the one we know for Hindi project being much less likely
as there will be a real cross-projects communication, and a better
visibility all around the NLC.
Sounds like a nice idea. On a more informal level, the various Indic L10n projects do talk to each other and developers hang about on #indlinux at irc.freenode.net. Cross pollination of resources is in a way something that can help pull together a lot of very well done efforts. The resource pool should help projects.
Thanks. Do we have an agenda on the informal structure? Do we/everybody from the Indic project agree?
I would agree. As for the agenda, I would send it across in a separate mail.
Regards Sankarshan
