I'd like to introduce to the list Wareko Te Angina who has
volunteered to become lead of a new Maori native language project.
Establishing a Maori Native language project has been a bit of a
obsession of mine, even tho I speak very little of Te Reo, and now
with Wareko coming on board it brings it one step closer to fruition.
Welcome Wareko Te Angina!
Wareko is Corporate Services Manager for Te Taura Whiri i te Reo
Maori, (the New Zealand Government's Maori Language Commission) and
was involved with the MS Office and XP Maori Language translations.
Wareko, welcome to the OOo Native Language Confederation.
Feel free to browse through http://native-lang.openoffice.org/ and
ask any questions that may arise on this list.
Charles and Louis are the Native Language project leads and can
provide far more intelligent answers to most questions than I.
Well, we can try to answer them. From my perspective, I'd like to
see OOo adopted by Maori and other native peoples both as a product
and project. The product is nice--it works well--but the project is
even better. :-) It's a group thing, and what you do locally can be
seen globally; what is done globally can be made--up to you--a local
thing.
So, let's get the discussions going!
Best
Louis
Cheers
Graham Lauder
