Feedback on W3C India Indic layout draft & Participation in W3C Indic Task Force

Dear Sir ,













W3C(www.w3.org) has formed Language Specific Task force working under the aegis of
W3C Internationalization Core WG in various World’s languages. The Indic Task
Force(http://www.w3.org/International/groups/indic-layout/ ) has been
constituted under W3C Internationalization Core Working Group. Since India has
22 constitutionally recognized languages and each language has their own
complexities and challenges , incorporation of Indic language requirements in W3C present and future Standards /
recommendations would be challenging task. 


 
The one of the main objective of Indic Task Force is to produce
recommendations and Draft Working Group Notes on CSS requirements in Indian
languages and its solutions.



 
In the area of CSS and Styling issues in Indian Languages, W3C India(www.w3cindia.in) has
already carried out extensive work and prepared draft report highlighting the
challenges and proposed solutions.The detailed draft of CSS requirements in Hindi
language is available at : http://w3cindia.in/Indic-req-draft/Indic-layout-requirements.html(http://w3cindia.in/word_pdf/test-report-for-hindi.pdf)
