Hi

I have been planning to make a Norwegian keyboard, but I have limited, although some, programming experience.

I understand I should start by checking out a branch:
bzr branch lp:ubuntu-keyboard add-norwegian-layout

Now, what does this actually do? Will I be working locally on my PC or will I have created a branch on Launchpad

You will work locally on your pc

Next, I wonder what I will need to do? I am assuming I need to create a subdirectory under the 'plugins' directory named 'no', where I should to copy, rename and edit the apropriate files from another subdirectory, for example fram 'ca' (catalan). Is this correct?

Will I need to do more than this?

On David's merge request you will see all the files/directories you need to add and all the changes you need to do to the code. Aslo read the wiki Mike provided.

Finally take a look at the e-mail Mike sent today about how you should add files/directories. I need to branch again and add files/directories with the appropriate command

Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Ari

Hi Nikos,

 Here's a work in progress guide I've been writing about creating
keyboard layouts, it's still in a pretty early state but there should be
some useful information there: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KeyboardLayouts

 As David suggested you'll do well to look at his merge request for an
example of everything that needs to be done (some things aren't covered
in the guide yet).

Cheers,
 Mike.

Hi Nikos,


There is no documentation as far as I can remember. A while ago I
submitted a new keyboard for Catalan. This merge proposal should help
you get started:

Cheers,
