[Baiju M]

Hi Preet,
         Its very nice to see that you are working on palm OS
         to support Malayalam. I have CC'ed this mail to our discussion
         list (There are about 50 members joined). I think you can
contact
         simputer list also address@hidden (It has Kannada
and Hindi
         support). You can join and post your mails to
address@hidden 
         You can use SMC CVS at savannah, please send your savannah ID,

         so that I can add you as a developer.

         Regards,
         Baiju M

         PS: I may not be able to work on this project after one month
         due to personal difficulties. I hope the members will continue
         this project.
