Desktop application

Date Jan 17th 2007 - 21:43 GMT
Updated Jan 17th 2007 - 21:43 GMT
Description I'd like to see diCrunch ported to a stand-alone desktop application. With PHP GTK, the task should be fairly easy to accomplish. Beyond that, the character arrays and conversion loops (with Indic scripts) that form the core of the program should be fairly straight-forward to convert to any language.
Requirements • Knowledge of a programming language of your choice.
• Basic familiarity with the transliteration conventions.
Helpful • Familiarity with the Indic scripts processed.
