-Guidelines for contributed languages
-------------------------------------
-
-Now language files are "outsourced" and are located in a separate
-directory, so that they are contributed directly to CTAN (please, do
-not send to me language styles just to upload them to CTAN):
-
-/macros/latex/contrib/babel-contrib
-
-Of course, placing your style files in this directory is not mandatory,
-but if you want to do it, here are a few guidelines.
-
-- Do not hesitate stating on the file heads you are the author and the
- maintainer, if you actually are. There is no need to state the babel
- maintainer(s) as authors if they have not contributed significantly
- to your language files.
-- Fonts are not strictly part of a language, so they are best placed
- in the corresponding TeX tree. This includes not only tfm, vf, ps1,
- otf, mf files and the like, but also fd ones.
-- Font and input encodings are usually best placed in the
- corresponding tree, too, but sometimes they belong more naturally to
- the babel style. Note you may also need to define a LICR.
-- Babel ldf files may just interface a framework, as it happens often
- with Oriental languages/scripts. This framework is best placed in its
- own directory.
-- And do not forget providing a manual (as a stand-alone PDF document).
-
-The following page provides a starting point:
-
-http://www.texnia.com/incubator.html
-
-If your need further assistance and technical advice in the
-development of language styles, I am willing to help you. And of
-course, you can make any suggestion you like.
