Siksa (Phonetics); Vyakarana (grammar); Nirukta (lexicon, etymology); Kalpa (manual of rituals); Chandas (prosody); Jyotisa (astronomy-astrology) Please read Panini for Grammer, Vidayaranyar for Veda Bashya, relevant Jyothisa texts before commenting. And Ubuntu Tamil Team, is need of Astrologer who is well versed in algorithms of how year and days are arrived at. We have Hebrew Calendar, Arabic Calendar, Gregorian Calendar in both GNOME and KDE but yet to fit Indian Calendar to it. If Astrologers find they are with GNU/ Linux they will also embrace Free Software and ask their followers to adopt Free Software :-) We need to provide both Valluvar Era and Chithirai Puthandu and leave the option to people to choose. Not a quarrel on this at least here. Any Student willing to do this as project? Any one else can help? -- ஆமாச்சு
