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
