Hello All, I am Abhishek. I am a CS engineer by training , working in the technology domain for 10+ years. Looking forward to being part of discussions in this space and learning about the work you are doing. And hopefully be a part. Are there any other forums /real time meetups other than this one that I don’t know of?
Hello, welcome @abh.
real-time meetups would be hard in a near future due to covid restrictions. We are now concentrating on digital literacy project. It will be great if you could take part on #digital-literacy discussions

Hello, I’m Benjamin. SMC’s projects have been a true help for me in the past. I’m primarily involved in a few language technology related projects.

Thanks Joice! I was already going through the digital literacy threads, will be in touch!
PS: Where can I find a summary of the current status of projects, and what topics this community consider as important ones to tackle - something like a reddit sidebar/wiki ? Maybe we should “sticky” such a threas as well.
As of now, the topics in the category are just summary. all four modules are core. We have to improvise and amend.
Project is in its early stage.
Post your suggestions there. We are planning to create a task list in public.

Hi, my name is Jobin Jacob Kavalam. Am a Software Engineer with about 10 years of professional experience. But learning to type in Malayalam only now 
I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT Madras.
Not sure how much of help i could be here; but was relieved to find this oasis of language lovers in the otherwise rather barren desert of the Malayalam internet.
If i may ask a specific question:
I am trying to get a chillaksharam rendered using the (ള+്+ZWJ=ള്‍) scheme
But i am just not able to get it to work. Is that because the font that i use does not support ZWJs ?
Am on a Mac using the Noto Sans Malayalam - Google Fonts font.
