[Fwd]: [Indlinux-group] Announcing a project for Indian language OCR

----- Forwarded message from Gora Mohanty <gora_mohanty-/[email protected]> -----

 > Hello,
 >   A group of us here at Delhi have been discussing the possibility
 > of doing a project on Indian language OCR. Given that this is a
 > voluntary, part-time project, we expect it to be about a year
 > before anything solid comes out, and two years before it is of
 > really good quality. Of course, these estimates could be revised
 > if we get more volunteers.
 >   We also plan on following a formal software development 
 > procedure that can also serve as a model for future IndLinux 
 > development work, and have laid out several steps with this in 
 > mind. I will post these to the project webpage and/or mailing
 > list once those are set up. What we need currently to start a 
 > project on SourceForge is:
 > 1. A name: The current leading candidate is AksharBodh, suggested
 >    by Vivek Khurana. Something a little cuter would be nice, but
 >    it should carry the idea of character recognition.
 > 2. Licence: Currently we are looking at LGPLv2 for the libraries
 >    (most of the work will actually be in this form), and GPLv2
 >    for the user interfaces. Other suggestions are welcome,
 >    provided you supply a rationale for that choice.
 > Please follow up to this message if you have comments. If you
 > wish to take part in development, please send me your SourceForge
 > user ID, and a paragraph about relevant experience if I do not
 > know you personally. I aim to register a SourceForge project by
 > tomorrow (28/1) night.
 > 
 > Regards,
 > Gora
