We are very sorry that we couldn't join that.  The notice
was so short and we took holiday on those days.  The
papers/documents provided in the above page look very
interesting, and I'm going to read all of them.

I think our m17n library can contribute in the field of CTL
(Complex Text Layout).  The strategy of the library for CTL
is to use external data files that contain knowledge about
script/language in a fairly simple rule-based format.  So
there's no need of modifying the library itself to add a
support for a new script or to fix a bug.  All we have to do
is just to add a new data file or modify it.

Is it possible to add our document in the above page if we
write a brief overview about that strategy?
