This is something other than BiDi? There are as many bugs in this area as there are in BiDi? Enough to warrant adding one more component to the hundreds we already have? In which components are these bugs currently filed? How many do we have?

CTL may work together with BiDi in many places, but there're still many CTL languages that don't use any BiDi functionality. for example, Thai lanuage, ligatures. CTL --> Complex Text Layout character/text appearance depends on context, same character may has more than one appearance/position. BiDi --> Bi-Directional the direction of text depends on the context (e.g. number) CTL and BiDi may often come together, but they are _not_ the same.

Do we have a specific person that will be responsible for handling bugs in this component? Do we have a QA contact?

Roland, your nomination for assignees is just that. unless owners step forward and take responsibility I'm not going to thrust a component on them.

hi, This is to let you know that i am the developer of the existing ctl component and also that i will take ownership of the bugs, rfe (whatever else) for Thai and Indian languages in *nix (support for which will be added to ctl component in near future). I will need help from someone like Roland and Masaki(katakai) since i do not have cvs access. I do not have Windows and MAC expertise though the ctl extension code is XP and may need someone from Netscape I18n team for bugs related to that. prabhat.

hi, Pl look at the comment #12. In addition, pl consider the following: A> Thai component has now moved from being in extensions (extensions/ctl) to part of main codebase (intl/ctl). B> Over the last year, thai ctl feature has been regularly used and numerous bugs have been reported on this component. prabhat

prabhat: The BugZilla Admin needs the following questions answered: 1. Who is the default owner ? 2. Who is the QA contact for these bugs ? 3. What is the name of the new component ? My answers: [1] Default owner should be "Prabhat Hegde <prabhat.hegde@sun.com>" [2] Default QA should be "Arthit Suriyawongkul <arthit.suriyawongkul@sun.com>" [3] Name of component should be "CTL" (long form: "Complex Text Layout") Remaining issues: - Default owner (e.g. you) has to agree _here_ that he wants to take the ownership (and really want all the BugZilla spam in your InBox) - Default QA (e.g. Arthit Suriyawongkul) has to agree _here_ that he wants to take the default QA (alternatively I can take the default QA (yes, I agree :)) - You have state that the information in [3] is correct
