(Hi! I'm passing on this announcement from Ienup who's not available at
the moment. Please read on the good news. :-) Happy holidays!)
Hello,
I'm delighted to have an honor to announce that we, Sun G11N, have open
sourced Solaris G11N source code at OpenSolaris.org and the source code
can be found from the following:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/int_localization/sources/
The README (Release Note) file with detail information on how to build
is available also at the following:
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/g11n/downloads/current/README.opensolaris.g11n
Our main focus on the initial source release was on the OS locales and
system libraries including numerous iconv code conversions. The message
translation sources which have been provided in dedicated tarballs in
the past are now part of the new tarball. We are not yet done; we have
still many components that we are moving from closed to open side as we
speak, and we will also open up the SVN source tree soon as the next step.
Even before this milestone, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada locales were already
contributed. With these codes open now, we hope to see more and more
activities around locales and languages in OpenSolaris. Let's make
OpenSolaris approachable from anywhere in the world! :-)
If you have any comment, question, suggestion, and so on, i18n-discuss
at opensolaris.org would be the best place to start. We also have many
language group mailing lists as follows:

I would like to use this chance to acknowledge the core team members who
made this possible and who are working diligently right now to bring the
SVN source tree to out in the open. Without their contributions and
dedication, I don't think we would have been able to announce this
humble but historic start. Here are the names of the core members in
alphabetical order:
Elizabeth McArthur
Kieran Colfer
Osamu Sayama
Simford Dong
Takeshi Asano
Valerie Alabanza
