Hello,

This is the support ticket system for GNU Savannah (the website at
http://savannah.gnu.org).

It seems you are requesting/suggesting features for another project - we can not help with that.
Also note that "Linux" is a kernel, and keyboard support might actually be related to a different project, e.g. X11/Gnome/KDE.

You might want to ask for help on this website: http://www.freedesktop.org/ .

regards,
 - assaf.

There is a romanized version of Singhala actively used in several linguistic projects and web sites and blogs that we would like to be included with new Linux distributions. See it in action at these places:
http://lovatasinhala.com/
http://ratinliyum.blogspot.com/

The attachments show what changes we propose for Sri Lanka's keyboard layout. This is an adaptation of QWERTY, making it intuitive to type Singhala when combined with an orthographic smartfont.

What is the best way to go about getting this variant included across the board for Linux?

ATTACHMENTS:
The attachment lk would be the new Layout file under symbols directory (or symbols/pc).

When this addition is made, the base.lst and/or evdev.lst inside the rules directory will have the entry set as given in the attachment evdev-base.lst.txt.

And <layout> tags for 'lk' in the base.xml and/or evdev.xml files will contain the lines as given in evdev-base.xml.txt file.

Thanks

JC
