Offer of help for Amharic

[Walter Bender]

In the short term, there is not much we can do about the physical
layout of the keyboard. But getting the rest of the Amharic input
issues sorted out would be very helpful. A first step would be to
start a collector ticket in Trac for all the open issues.

regards.
