Happy New Year 2007! Hope the holiday season was good (whichever holidays you observed)!

I've opened up a new "wikigroup" on the PanAfriL10n.org website/wiki for Nigerian localisation: http://www.panafril10n.org/wikidoc/pmwiki.php/NG-L10n/HomePage

The object is to provide a more flexible space for Nigerian localisers to list their contact details, websites, and projects. This is in some ways an online "virtual plaza/market," interactive, with the added advantage that it links with the larger PanAfrican Localisation wiki and other country-specific "wikigroups."

Among other things, I am trying to set up an RSS feed from this forum to the new wikigroup.

The PanAfriL10n.org page on Efik, Ibibio and Anaang has been updated. See http://www.panafril10n.org/wikidoc/pmwiki....oc/EfikIbibioAnaang (corrections, more updates are invited).

Just modified the board name from Ibibio, Efik, Anaang & ICT (fonts, keyboards & applications) to Ibibio, Efik, Anaang and ICT (fonts, keyboards, applications). The ampersands were making a problem for the RSS feed, strangely enough. Now the feed works. See: http://www.panafril10n.org/wikidoc/pmwiki.php/NG-L10n/L10nForums

During the last four weeks there has been a discussion about keyboard layouts on the a12n-collaboration list. The main topic is plans by the One Laptop Per Child project for a multilingual keyboard for its "XO" laptop. The keyboard layout would be intended to support languages of Nigeria (presumably including Ibibio, Efik & Anaang) or the whole of West Africa.

If you are interested, see http://lists.kabissa.org/lists/archives/pu...a12n-collaboration/ (Note- this list is not an official OLPC forum)

The OLPC layouts are shown at:
