uses FriBidi and some of Behdad's Farsi Console.

   1. April - Mozilla International Month (Brian King)
--- Begin Message ---
We are very pleased to announce International Month in the Mozilla 
community. The primary aims are to promote and educate about the 
localisation (l10n) and internationalisation (i18n) capabilities of 
Mozilla software, and to show how truly global the software can be and 
the community is.

To coincide with International Month, a number of publications and 
events have been planned. These include:

* A new l10n documentation section on mozdev.org. New documents include 
a localisation how-to for non-techies, and a review of Mozilla 
Localization Editors.
http://www.mozdev.org/notes/l10n/
* A special edition of the Mozilla Links Newsletter. Mozilla Links are 
already translated into 6 languages, and more translations are planned 
for this issue.
http://newsletter.mozdev.org/
* Independent Status Report specifically for l10n/i18n projects.
* mozilla.party.jp 5.0: Mozilla-gumi, one of the largest Mozilla users' 
groups in Japan, is organizing an annual conference on 18 April.
http://www.mozilla.gr.jp/party5.0/index_e.html
* A document aimed at extension authors on how to make their software 
localisable.
* Contributions for the international aspects of the releases of Mozilla 
1.7, Firefox 0.9, Thunderbird 0.6 release, scheduled for release in mid-May.

We welcome your participation in this Month, and if you have any 
comments, ideas, or would like to contribute in some way, please follow 
up on the l10n list or contact mozdev.org feedback.

As I looked at "CSS3 module: Lists" (W3C Working Draft 7 November 2002) 
there will be an "arabic-indic" for changing the numeric system.

As I know, "Farhang-e Hezareh" (also from Moaser publications) is more 
better. ;)

I think no, it's right about *buttons*.

But we should translate "Print..." in "File" menu as infinitive, "chaap"
or "chaap-kardan", IMPO.

[PersianComputing] Persian Standard Keyboard Layout keymap for Vim

[Behnam Esfahbod]

We have created the Persian-Iranian keymap file for Vim based on Persian 
Standard Keyboard Layout.

As utf-8 is the only encoding for Persian on Linux, we have implemented 
this layout only in utf-8.


Known Bugs:
- AltGr isn't supported, cause of there is no AltGr in US keyboard.
- Shift+Space doesn't work; you should use Shift-B for ZWNJ.

Newbie Instruction:
- Copy these two files to /usr/share/vim/vim6x/keymap/
- Use 
:set keymap=persian
in Vim command mode, or append it to ~/.vimrc


Have fun...

It's  [U+0649].  Its ISOLATED and FINAL forms
are like  [U+06CC], so we show it in the layout
as INITIAL form.

As Roozbeh said, some characters only use in Koranic texts.

Combining of C, R and T with AltGr (also Ctrl+Alt in windows) in new
keyboard layout is empty and so, MS Word SHOULD catch them for Copyright,
Reserved Trademark, and Trademark (that it does).

If we set any character at these keys, MS Word SHOULD NOT use them for 
any other character.


As Roozbeh suggested, we can put these 3 character in the new layout, but 
my opinion is that we don't; because they SHOULD NOT use in persian texts, 
and we have other local shapes for these characters.

The truth is Ctrl+Alt act as AltGr (right Alt).
