Revision as of 14:45, 22 April 2008

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
