As a nation we are very happy to see Sinhala Unicode is spreading & people making use of it. Thanks to the Sinhala Unicode, now Sri Lankans can access web using a Sinhala web browser, that’s one & only Sinhala Firefox.
In this success story, only one man was there behind the scene. His name is Danishka Navin. Personally I know how he worked day & night for on behalf of all Sri Lankans who are willing to access web in their own mother tongue.
But after seeing those articles & news, I realize that ICTA is trying to get the credit of doing this along with University of Moratuwa & Danishka is totally thrown away.
We should appreciate Danishka for this invaluable work & if he wasn’t here there won’t be any Sinhala Firefox.
So Danishka this is my appreciation for the tremendous work you did for the NATION!
PS: Machan Danishka, I will prepare those Sinhala FF3 web banners when I get back to Sri Lanka on end of next week.

its really sad to see things like this.
It’s so hard to believe that the most (IT related) responsible institution in the country is behaving such way!
It’s so sad to see such things!
