(FSU SIG-i18n)
In the time between this post and August 15th, 1997 the Free
Software Union will be activating its Special Interest Group on
Internationalization (SIG-i18n). This group is meant as a

(multilingual support in free software) and as a host for new
and existing projects related to these areas.
Topics in the scope of FSU SIG-i18n include:
- Awareness of the need for internationalization among
free software authors
- Software design issues for adoption to different language
environments
- International language support in free software OSes,
Graphics and Windowing APIs
- Promotion of the use of international character coding standards
(Unicode)
- Internationalization tools
- Internationalization projects
- Multilingual Application Development
- Font for multiple languages
- Scripts and input methods
- Translation issues
(This list is is open for your ideas)

SIG-i18n, or ask questions on fsu-general@fslu.org.
