Proposal for Changing the Nomenclature of The Project - UTRRS
by Satyabrata Maitra 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

Hi Folks As many of you might aware of, that we have merged our Project - UTRRS (Unicode Text Rendering Reference System) into FUEL after the discussion. Now we would like to propose the change in Naming Convention for the project UTRRS and we seek suggestions for the same from all of you. We would like to request for the new ideas that how the current name of the project "UTRRS" can be change or will be replaced with and welcome all of your efforts on this task. The name 'UTRRS' is although accepted by everybody when it was developed and till today. Still, we would like to change it's pattern of naming convention and provide a nomenclature which suites its functionality more accurately in a rather simple manner which is more understandable and acceptable to the community with the nature of purpose this application serves. As a preface, we would like to share some facts like what exactly the UTRRS is, how does it work, what does it do, how it helps etc etc in a short summary : UTRRS stands for Unicode Text Rendering Reference System which is a concept of Testifying and Validating the rendering of any Grammatical Character or Composed Character in a comparison method with a Reference Character that is provided. The difference between the rendered character and the reference character is what the test result we can record with 'match' or 'mismatch'. Based on this concept, we have developed a tool which actually provides a platform or web interface to Validate the Character or Composed Character. As of now we have implemented it in 11 Indic Locales which are based on script based characters (like Devanagari or Dravidian). UTRRS is an web based tool developed with ruby on rails and with MySQL as a backend database server. It verifies the rendering of any fonts installed in your system as well as the rendering engine's (Pango, qt, icu, or harfbuzz or any other) performance in terms of forming the character shapes regardless of whether it is any base characters (Codepoint) or any composed character (GSUB or GPOS), platform independently. We have a certain set of plans for this project's further enhancement and this will come in the roadmap on the project page upon the completion of merging task, and we will seek contributions from all of you as a community effort in near future.

FUEL Numbers Module

Hi, I Have prepared a module of numbers, https://fedorahosted.org/fuel/raw-attachment/wiki/fuel-terminology/fuel-num… This module consists of all the words related to Numbers. I have collected it from different sources. I hope this will work as a reference for the Numbers. I have tried to incorporate all the Cardinals, Ordinals, Multiplicatives and Fractions. I have a query about fractional parts of the hundreds, thousands that are expressed in our language like "sava-sau (125)" "dedh-sou (150)", etc..., How to incorporate these strings in English as source. I have not yet added these ones in this document. Suggestions are welcome! Thanks Sweta

04 Jul '13

Hello Everyone, We have been thinking of doing monthly meetings in order to provide regular updates about what's happening around project, what are the plans we have, what could help us going further, as well as the ideas/suggestions/feedback we could get from the community keeping strong interest towards FUEL project, etc. This e-mail is to request you for providing your inputs on the $SUBJECT. Should we do it? Should we do it monthly or quarterly basis? Should we do it on hangout, or an irc or something else? Should we do it in India Time Zone (as most of the members are located in India) Or some other time? What could be an interesting agenda for the meetings? and anything else that you think is relevant? Thanks, Ankit Patel http://www.ankit644.com/ http://fuelproject.org/gilt2013/index
