What I want to avoid is that this becomes a de-facto "Catalan keyboard". I'm happy with providing the support, but calling it "the" Catalan keyboard makes me feel uneasy. I didn't say the keyboard exists, I know it does. I have concerns about the lack of open discussion there has been when creating the layout. I've discussed it in other Catalan lists and I don't remember anyone saying "I would use it". I wouldn't, either :) Jordi -- Jordi Mallach Pérez -- Debian developer http://www.debian.org/ jordi@sindominio.net jordi@debian.org http://www.sindominio.net/ GnuPG public key information available at http://oskuro.net/
