Hi Jimbo Wales

I'm Ngwe Tun from Myanmar. I'm attending Wikimania 2008. Shall we discuss Myanmar Unicode Fonts issues right away? It's our situation on Myanmar Wikipedia. Media:Myanmar_Wikipedia_Issues.pdf‎ Parabaik 13:40, 17 ဇူ​လိုင်​ 2008 (UTC)

Discussion of font issues

I am having a hard time understanding the font issues, but very eager to help. Parabaik, I am so sorry that we did not get sufficient time to really talk at Wikimania... but it was great to meet you. (You are the one who gave me the shirt, right?)--Jimbo Wales 17:16, 23 ဇူ​လိုင်​ 2008 (UTC)

Hi Jimbo, Yes, you still remember me. You may see my presentation. We got very useful experiences from Wikimania 2008. I met and discussed several Wikipedians. Finally, I attended Gerard Meijssen presentation. After that presentation, I discussed with him about Myanmar Wikipedia situation and Localization Status in Burmese Language. He listen well and explained how to do next in our language. Luckily, We founded Treasures in Alexandria, Egypt.

So, We will break down as Project Localization and Language Localization. We are ready in Language Localization steps such as Fonts, Input Method and Standards. But We haven't started well in Project Localization such as Translation, Bug Handling and collaboration effort. We were spending on Fonts Issues and Encoding standards issues. I decided that I should focus on Project Localization. I will organize Burmese Glossary Word for ICT Terms, recently used burmese translated string and bug reporting system for burmese language.

Anyhow, Thanks for your acknowledgments. I would like to drop my remembrance of two words from Wikimania 2008, Egypt. 1) Change the shape of wisdom 2) Gerard Meijssen: No body knows about you. (No body knows about your language like you.) Parabaik 22:41, 23 ဇူ​လိုင်​ 2008 (UTC)
