Yes, nice you did that!
Christoph Amothor of the dictionary, dictionary@burmese-dictionary.org,
was so kind in previous emails that later in the evening I thought: 'He
will probably learn from this unicoders as well, shall I give him a copy
of the conversation, after asking if there would be any objections doing
so?"
So if one of you can volunteer, they would be very happy. My experience
is that with less developed countries and IDN, they are very happy when
you contact them...had similar experience with Bangladesh. But contact
broke down because their backbone is so weak that sending a fax is a
challenge. MP of Bangladesh want internet and backbone, rest of country
want better houses, health etc. I think these are less good priorities ;)
Br,
