[Ilugc] Software for learning tamil typewriting

[Mugunth]

Hi All,
For creating a Free Software for learning tamil type writing , I would 
suggest we can try localising Tuxtype to tamil keyboard layouts.
check:  http://tuxtype.sourceforge.net

There are 2 widely used layouts for tamil in TamilNadu
1. Tamilnet99 keyboard
2. Tamil Typewriter keyboard.

Sri Lankan Tamils use a keyboard layout called Bamini.

So if we attempt to make a typing tutorial, we may need to handle all 
these 3 layouts.

I hope someone from the freesoftware community start this project soon....

Regards,
Mugunth
