Everything said above is still valid, but i'd like to delay tt_TR (which might still come up later), in favor of [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was hesitating about @iqtel earlier, because it's not a registered modifier. But it was explained to me on launchpad that the modifier doesn't have to be registered. ije in [EMAIL PROTECTED] isn't registered either. iqtel stands for İQTElif (İdíl-Ural-Qırım Tatar Elifbası), which is version of Latin alphabet. The reason i need to use a modifier like that under tt is because there are about 6 versions of Latin alphabet currently de-facto in use, and none of them has gained official status. This alphabet is characterized by: 1. phonetic correctness 2. closeness of orthography to kindred languages (like Crimean Tatar, where Latin alphabet is official) 3. conventionality (no weird characters)
Basically, there needs to be 2 new teams: crh and [EMAIL PROTECTED] (so that folks who share preference for IQTElif have a common workspace) Thanks. - -- My public GPG key is at: http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/export?id=476802195259949354 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE+MQEBp3xEgSYgSoRAr6NAJ9SdO75QtyJNqdFb67sGemiGt6svACeJHcF gUe6pSw47K2aIBi7ZUJ4A+Q= =LgsM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
