Procedure for creating a new keyboard:
- check to see if there is an existing layout specified in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols
- if yes to #1, then make a mock-up based upon this specification (I use inkscape to generate an SVG)
- identify someone in country with whom to iterate in the design (presumably the design was motivated by someone in country)
- create artwork and modified symbol file for X as necessary
- push out to wiki for feedback; more iteration
- hand the artwork off to Quanta
- push the X changes upstream
- approve samples from Quanta
Keyboard image:
- Use Inkscape to create the keyboard
- Save as PDF
- Use Adobe to read PDF and Grab to take a screen shot
- Save as Tiff
- Use Imagemagick to convert to png ($ /Applications/ImageMagick-6.4.1/bin/convert <file>.tiff <file>.png)
- Upload png to wiki page
