I am hoping to be present at the release at Ravenshaw University in early 2013. With best wishes for the New Year Lalu Mansinha London, Canada At 02:56 AM 16/12/2012, Srujanika wrote: Hello all, We had started 2012 with a few things to reactivate Odia Computing work. Now as the year is about to end we should take a look at where we stand and where to go. As usual, the initial enthusiasm has evaporated with time and under pressure of other matters on hand. This is bound to happen unless some definite programme is taken up in one's own interest and is pursued without external promptings. However, we have benefited much from this brief active period. We have three Odia font converters (8bit to Unicode) and several other corpora tools available - thanks to Hariram, Ajit and Arun. We have tested, modified and uploaded these at https://bitbucket.org/rebati/rebati/ under downloads. We have also finalised an Odia keyboard layout (same for both Linux and Windows 7) an uploaded to bit bucket. Please try these out and help us with any feedback. There are a few additions we would like to see in the Odia fonts - punctuations and roman characters and diacritics - and will take this up with the RedHat group. Odia sorting requires a lot more work, but we get near-perfect output only with LibreOffice Calc (both under Linux and Windows 7. We need much help with this and with Scribus-Indic. Our digitization work has reached a point of saturation as far as the Odia periodicals are concerned. The current holding of about 1,30,000 paged (~20 gb of optimised pdf files) comprises about *0 % of all Odia periodicals published between 1870 and 1950. We are hoping to release these at the Ravenshaw University in early 2013. We would also release these on 5 DVD's for researchers. Hosting these on the internet is a massive job that is beyond our present capabilities, but we are working on it. Our future work will be on finalising the ongoing work with Odia dictionaries, corpora, glossary and the digitization of books. We hope to pick up a bit of our neglected work on science too. Hope Rebati can get a better life in 2013.
