Suggestion: Please make a free public repository of foxreplace replacement tables

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

It is a humble suggestion:

Please consider making a repository here or somewhere having foxreplace 
replacement tables that users submits and are for free general public use.

I have also made a conversion table that converts 10 languages numerals to 
latin numerals. I have also made another conversion table that is converting 
(transliterating) hindi/devanagari script to roman english, and I intend to 
make more table for transliterating hindi/devanagari to itrans, and to 
transliterate back as above, and also transliterating between 8-9 indian 
languages.

I would like if my these tables are made available to all users of foxreplace, 
free of cost.

Similarly, I would also love to go through whatever replacement tables other 
users might submit, whether they can help me achieve some of my work.

So, such a repository will be very helpful to all and would itself become an 
advertizement of foxreplace.

Please consider.

Thanks.

It's a good suggestion, but the problem is that I don't have a server to host 
user submissions. Maybe I could enable a wiki page to allow users to post links 
to lists hosted in other places, but I'm not sure it would be practical.

Anyway, I will think of this again in the future. Thanks for the suggestion.

two and a half years have passed since I had posted this suggestion.

So a humble reminder.

Hope you would keep this in mind, and explore methods where you can get some free space where your users might store their fr substitution tables.

This way, new users can directly search in this repository and might be lucky to find an exact substitution table made by someone else doing the exact the that the user needs to do. That will be a boon.

There is a greasemonkey script repository that comes very handy. Something on the same lines.

or starting a facebook page on which users may post such tables, or links to them will also do. it is free.

Thanks.
