Hi, Last week I downloaded Qimo 2.0 (http://www.qimo4kids.com ) distro. It is a distro for kids. Based on Ubuntu, it has the lightweight XFCE interface. I just wanted to check the contents and how the packages are in the new version. Old one was nice and the current release is excellent and looks professional.
The first screen when I started the PC from the CD was giving me options to select language. To my surprise, it has many Indian languages available including Marathi. I know that Marathi localisation is not so good (actually very poor :-( ) but still started using Marathi language. As expected, most of the stuff is in English but some of the things are in Marathi. One of the most important package in the distro is Gcompris and it is completely in Marathi !!! As I know, this work is done by Anand Kulkarni (and his team) from PLUG. It was really a pleasant surprise to know that complete localisation of the package is done and it is reached upstream and included in other distros. Many many thanks and Congrats to Anand for this great work!!
