I am keen in taking part in anyway in your projects regarding to Burmese. I was born in Burma, have a big and long experience of writing in Burmese even from 1970. But it was without computer but with typewriter. Now I am a pensioner with computer and broadline Internet. Doing sometime Translations from/into Burmese using WinMyanmar fonts and classical keyboard layout. I have M.Tech. Engg (Hons) Degree and I think I am still able to learn new technics.
By the way my Burmese name is U Myo Aung and in 1970-ies I was a well known popular-science writer in Burma with penname Theikpan Myo Aung.
Hope to be useful helping Burma in someway.
Yours sincerely,
U Myo Aung
