I completely disagree with this approach. FOSSCOMM is for open standards - and in this case the openstandard is unicode. It is irrelevant at this juncture whether Nudi is open sourced or not or whether it runs on linux or mac. What is relevant is that both the central and state governements use open standards - ie, in this case, unicode. The letter should focus on 1. Introduction of unicode in all spheres of governance 2. Conversion of existing documents into unicode. that is all the government should do. Platform or proprietary/open are not relevant in this case and bring in too many other issues that clutter up the argument. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
