[FSUG-Bangalore] FSUG-Bangalore Digest, Vol 33, Issue 7

[Purnateja D Ghat]

Hi,
Although distros like Ubuntu has Kannada support,its hard to remember the
key board layout and start working to full fledge capabilities(Atleast for
beginners like me).
Thus Kannada(unicode) on a FOSS OS is long been a short coming I'm facing in
a FOSS OS.
Baraha helps to overcome this. We can use Baraha on a FOSS OS using WINE,but
it is not all that easy using it. I request Mr.Sheshadri Vasu(Baraha
developer) and the ANAKRU foundation to come out with a Open/Cross platform
version of Baraha or atleast with the code so that somebody else can work on
porting it to FOSS.
