In a way yes, you did put it across much nicely than I could. I don't see enough content that is shared via a Project Gutenberg or like system. And, I don't come across enough content in UTF-8. There are umpteen magazines and thus content must be created regularly, what I'd really like to know is what stops the authors from pushing them out in UTF-8. This is somewhat in the context of the fact that the Indic content creation experience is significantly improved since the early days of IndLinux. I am not really interested in the scanned images. They are good efforts, but don't end up addressing the issue. -- You see things; and you say 'Why?'; But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?' - George Bernard Shaw -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to plug-mail-requ...@plug.org.in for mailing instructions.
