This is complete bullshit. I am happy about having a catalan layout (in fact, I'm pursuing some minor changes to the es layout to bring the L MIDDLE DOT character to it by default), but not some random layout which apparently has been created with no input from the Catalan community. Robert, have you tried this keyboard? Is it actually usable? It has little to do with what the vast majority of Catalans are using today, and the learning curve would be big enough that I really doubt this will be broadly picked up. If there has to be a Catalan keyboard, it should be designed by people who actually are going to use them. Looking at the keymap I see pretty severe flaws in it -- do Catalan users write Spanish characters, ever? I think they do. How do I type a "á" or a "ñ"? Christian, my opinion is that ca_IT (I haven't submitted this locale) and ca_FR users should be using either Italian or French. Contrary to what Robert says, Italian or French Catalan-speakers are *unlikely* to have this "Catalan keyboard".
