Hi, I am happy to announce the release of Inscript2 keymaps.
What is Inscript2? -------------------------------- This project contains 22 Enhanced Inscript(Inscript2) keyboard layouts for Indic languages. These are m17n keyboard layouts and are based on the draft released by CDAC. Currently, the draft can be downloaded from http://pune.cdac.in/html/gist/down/inscript_d.asp.

Where can I get it ? ------------------------------ https://fedorahosted.org/releases/i/n/inscript2/inscript2-20110719.tar.gz
Where to report problems? ------------------------------ Please report any issues at https://fedorahosted.org/inscript2/newticket

AFAIK, The draft is under review and not approved so far. There are serious criticism on the draft raised by community(eg: http://wiki.smc.org.in/CDAC-Inscript-Critique)
Don't we need to wait till the standard is approved and it move out of "Draft" status?

Even though the draft is under review and, has received critical notes from the Malayalam community, doesn't an implementation allow the flaws to be demonstrated ? An experiment is, in the end, an optimal way to prove or, disprove a conjecture.

Are we releasing the experimental version(or implementations with flaws) to public? It is good to have implementations to demonstrate the draft standard. But if that is the case, it should be clearly mentioned in the announcement. This kind of announcement misleading. Users will start using and learning a wrong keymap.

Ok. What change you want and where?

I think I have mentioned almost everywhere that this release is based on draft released by CDAC. This draft is there since last few months and I see no further updates to that draft. Also, I am in need of some testing and feedback on real keymap usage on Linux.
Note that this is not a upstream release by m17n-lib project.
Regards, Parag.
