If anyone who developed keyboard mods/xml files, and would like me to package it and publish at Ovi, please let me know. I will try to get it done [in my busy schedule]. Please give me icons, description, support URL, screen shots, etc, and a release for TSI from any liabilities.

I will make sure, I acknowledge your hard work/contribution in the app description.
I will say something like:
"This keyboard developed by [your name/info]. TSI is only packaging and publishing to Ovi Store, with the developers approval. Please contact the developer for support. TSI not responsible for any damages and free from any liabilities."

With this kind of app solution, anybody in the world can easily install their language or what ever keyboard layout, without having to be scared about hacking their N9.

Great initiative!
Should put this in the thread dedicated to keyb layouts/mods, so they can be added to the OP.

I agree, nice work. Please consider contributing those XML layout files upstream:

https://gitorious.org/maliit/maliit-plugins

That way, you'll get to enjoy them on other platforms than just the N9.

Thanks. I haven't figured out how to contribute to git, but I am working on it.

I will submit the files upstream, once I figure git out.

I am also working on few other Indian languages. Once complete, I will submit those also.

Made any progress with git?

http://gitref.org/ and http://git-scm.com/documentation are pretty good online resources when it comes to learning more about it.

Finally I got some time to mess with my desktop to setup git and try to upload my keyboard files.

I successfully installed git but having difficulty cloning:

$ git clone https://gitorious.org/maliit/maliit-plugins
Cloning into 'maliit-plugins'...

fatal: https://gitorious.org/maliit/maliit-plugins/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

$ git clone https://abyzthomas@gitorious.org/maliit/maliit-plugins
Cloning into 'maliit-plugins'...
fatal: https://abyzthomas@gitorious.org/mal...gins/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

$ git --version
git version 1.7.10.4

Any ideas what is going on? I also ran the git update-server-info, it completes with no errors.

I tried to create a clone on gitorious and it did create a clone, but I could not figure out how to upload the file.

Re: [Announce] Additional keyboard layout apps available at ovi store for N9/N950/Meego/Harmattan
 

The URL was incorrect. The correct URL for git is the following:

$ git clone https://git.gitorious.org/maliit/maliit-plugins.git
Cloning into 'maliit-plugins'...
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

But it still fails!

Any ideas?
