New description:
All keyboards will have a trac entry to tracking their layout status. This
collects them into one place.
Note that there will be other keyboards and layouts for other
national/cultural/linguistic reasons. The current layouts are aimed at
the international software developer community and the specific countries
named.
There are some generic decisions we have made, however, such as removing
caps lock, which only causes trouble for most children, and putting
control in an easier to reach location (to reduce the RSI problems all too
many people are experiencing on conventional keyboards in adulthood).
We've also made generic decisions around function keys, including some not
typically found on most keyboards, oriented specifically at simplifying
the user interface. Thought has also been given to minimize difficulties
with commonly used other software found on other operating systems.
