Yes, nice you did that!
Christoph Amothor of the dictionary, [email protected],
was so kind in previous emails that later in the evening I thought: 'He
will probably learn from this unicoders as well, shall I give him a copy
of the conversation, after asking if there would be any objections doing
so?"
So if one of you can volunteer, they would be very happy. My experience
is that with less developed countries and IDN, they are very happy when
you contact them...had similar experience with Bangladesh. But contact
broke down because their backbone is so weak that sending a fax is a
challenge. MP of Bangladesh want internet and backbone, rest of country
want better houses, health etc. I think these are less good priorities ;)

Hi, Unicoders!
Well, I got a response from the folks who run the non-Unicode Burmese
dictionary web site that was discussed yesterday. Based on the
response, it sounds like they would probably work with volunteers
willing to donate their time to help them convert the site to Unicode.
They indicate that conversion to Unicode is at the top of their
priority list. So at least they have their priorities correct
:-) :

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, the funding that we get by
advertising is just enough
to pay for regular expenses and until we find other resources we cannot allocate the
necessary>> time from our jobs to do the changes. But they are on top of our
priority list.
Best regards,
Christoph Amthor
