[OLPC India] Languages covered by Devanagari

[Arjun Sarwal]

Our idea is to document the languages covered by the various keyboard
layouts and make that a part of the respective Keyboard Layouts wiki
pages.

Also
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Conventions#Keyboard_Layouts_page_naming.2Ftagging_proposal
has been proposed by cjl.

Please let us know your thoughts/suggestions.


thanks
Arjun
