Localization was one of the first issues we discussed when we started a year, but sadly things don't seems to turn up as we expected.Its nice to have people like you come up to help us.
if there is any teaam interested i can help them out. we finished with telugu localization recentlly and we named the distro as "swecha" . as the font rules of kannada and telugu are almost similar i think the work is more then 50% done. i request all the lovers of freedom to think about this.
There is Kannada localization team working with IndLinux, Perhaps you can find it out somewhere on internet.
If want to help us,here is task which you help 'Free Schools' project.During the Atma Shree School K12LTSP setup Zabil and Sanjeev has tried to install/use kanada fonts on K12LTSP Distro.But there seems to be a problem there.
If you can help us, a lot of NGO's like Smitha Rao thank ful.
dear smitha you tell me the distros i can send through courier you can contact me through these mail ids
I have already dispatch few CD's to Smitha yesterday.
Perhaps we will have active support in future too.
