Thanks for wonderful work

Dear Mr. Nagarjuna,

Thank you for your wonderful work and happy to see telugu
text along with other languages in the browser.

Is it possible for you to bring out a stand alone editor
under linux like telugu lipi for windows so that it will be
easy to type in any editor and convert it to various
languages.

I know it amounts to a lot of work and you may have your own
commitments.

I also see other addons to mozilla but it would be nice to
have stand alone editor.

Have you tried the free software OpenOffice on Microsoft
Windows?
Not really just an editor, but a complete word processor. I
am
not 100% sure, but think that it supports Telugu on that
platform. Definitely does on Linux.

Also, I am not sure of what you mean by conversion to
various
languages. Padma does not do that, but just code conversion.
If
you need a stand-alone code converter, I am not sure if
anyone
has built something like this on top of Padma, but this
would be
wonderful.

For various reasons, mostly to do with simplicity, we have
built
a code converter around the m17n library, instead of around
Padma. This is also free software, and currently is in beta
testing with Hindi, and Oriya. If you wish to help out with
Telugu, we would apreciate it. Speakers of other languages
are
also invited to help out here. Also, we do plan on
eventually
importing the Padma font data.

Regards,
Gora

P.S. Nagarjuna, we had talked about this earlier, but never
     followed through. Can you enable Oriya in Padma, so
that I
     can add font data for Oriya?
