Hi Vern,

Some time ago (actually quite a while ago, we exchanged some emails
regarding unicode support for vietnamese ethnic minority languages. At
the time i wrote a quick keyboard layout for windows using Tavultesoft
Keyman. A partial implementation, since i only had access to partial
data on what characters were needed. And subsequently archived and
remained forgotten on my harddisk.

Rencently i've bene experimenting with Linux. A number of imput
frameworks have been developed for Linux. One of them is SCIM
(http://www.scim-im.org/). Recently i started experiemnting with KMFL
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/kmfl), an opensource project that
allows the source files for Tavultesoft Keyman to be used with SCIM on
Linux. This combined with a numbe rof other projects could provide an
interesting solution for Vietnamese ethnic minorities.

Andrew
