Subject: [g11n-hu-discuss] Solaris Standard Keyboard Layouts
Message-ID: <479746AD.2080303@sun.com>

all,

In order to improve existing Solaris Keyboard Layouts and increment 
support on new Keyboard Layouts, a project is being developed; the goal 
of this project is to define "Solaris Standard Keyboard Layouts" in 
cooperation with OS.o User Groups and Open Source Communities from 
different countries for all languages supported in Solaris.

If you consider that Solaris Keyboard Layout should be different for 
your language or should be created (if it doesn't exist), you can 
contribute to this project.

If you are interested, you can find more information about current 
"Solaris Standard Keyboard Layouts" and how to contribute to the project at:

http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Solaris_keyboard_layouts


Any comment or suggest is welcome,

Best regards,

Hello Javier,

Thanks for doing a good project first of all. I think it is something
that we need for OpenSolaris and distros like Indiana.

Based on the replies you made, it appears to me this is about
mainly X11 XKB keyboard layout support. I think explicitly including
OS level keyboard support is also important as the project title might
also implying. (Plus info on how to add new keyboard layouts and possible
bug filing.)

I have a concern on the relationship between this project and
X.org xkbdata repository. Would you please define or clarify on that?

Also, it appears there are two main branches on the X11 XKB keyboard
layout support development in the open source communities as you know.
One being xkbdata from X.org and the other, relatively actively being
maintained and enhanced, freedeskop.org's xkeyboard-config.

I understand that we are currently using the X.org xkbdata. Is there any
future plans on possibly merging or migrating to xkeyboard-config files?
(As an OpenSolaris.org level work and/or an X.org/freedesktop.org level
work.)

Ienup
