Renaming font packages

Hi,

recently Thomas Schraitle and I have been working on the renaming of
font packages in a standard naming scheme.  The discussion is found in
FATE 313035.  As the result, the Wiki page is created and we started
converting a few packages.  The detail is found in:
    http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Fonts

Now, we'd like to ask someone volunteering this work together with
us.

The job is relatively easy.  You'll copy a package from M17N to
M17N:fonts with a new package name, rename files, modify spec file for
the renaming procedure appropriately.  The detail is found in the page
above.

The font list is found in
    http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Fonts:Fontlist
You can see many packages are still not converted yet.

If anyone is interested, even anyone has any objection to this action, 
let me know.  If you'd like to join, I can assign you to the
maintainer of M17N:fonts project.

Once when all conversions are done, the packages should be merged to
FACTORY.  Then we're going to remove the old packages from M17N
project. 
I believe this is a better way than keeping the old packages forever.
But if you have other opinion, please speak up.


thanks,

Takashi
