xkeyboard-config

Layouts are coming and coming in, xkeyboard-config is getting popular, slowly. It is very difficult to distinguish – which layouts are worth including, which are not. Till that point, we accepted everything – but I’m afraid soon I’ll have to learn the word ‘No’.

BTW, Swedish people – would you mind having Russian phonetic variant in your layout?;) Wouldn’t it be offensive? Same question to the people of the country between Canada and Mexico.

Actually, I would appreciate if someone familiar with the multiple Indian languages (not necessary speaking but being able to discuss the situation) would contact me. svu at gnome dot org, as usual.

Wanted: Openlook-related contacts

A while ago, Sun released openlook to public. Unfortunately, there was a lot of related stuff (DevGuide, deskset, etc) which is kind of lost in the battle. My friend is trying to ressurect the project (on sf.net) – and he would really be interested in this stuff.

So, if anyone from Sun Microsystems reading this blog record knows any contact in the company who could discuss these issues (or original openlook developers) – I’d appreciate that kind of information. The hints will be gratefully accepted at <svu at gnome dot org>. Thanks.
