Selam all,
I am writing as a follow to Solomon Dejene and Dr. Aberra Mola. I
have been waiting to hear from Araya, Admas and Getie who have been
actively engaged in the issue actively. Assuming that they are
agreeable to the idea already presented (and no objection has been
logged) regarding the possibility of producing a special issue on
the numerous issues surrounding Ethiopic, I am proposing to
establish a committee which will follow up on the matter. This could
be published as a special issue either on SINET--Ethiopian Journal
of Science or Journal of Ethiopian Studies (both based in Ethiopia).
I recently read that we have just ushered into SMS Mobile Text
Messaging in Ethiopic which makes it even more important to capture
the various technological, economic, educational, and social and
cultural issues as we are trekking the ICT terrain. I suggest that
this group be composed of experts in IT, Ethiopian literature,
sociology, standardization/copyright, and business among others.
Keakbrot gar.

Selam Everybody,
Thanks for inviting me and I
agree with the various suggestions.
I am glad Ethiopic has
continued to grow. However, most of these problems would linger
until the Ethiopian government starts giving out software patents.
Thanks! Aberra
