OK, great you say that, but what does it do? Its website is blank
(seems to be wrapped entirely in <script> tags, bizarrely/invalidly), in
a language I don't understand (I apologise for my shortcoming, bt I
can't learn them all, sadly) and with an "English" link that does nothing.

I noticed that http://wiki.smc.org.uk/ uses the non-free-software FDL
and its "English" link does nothing either, then I gave up.

Thanks in advance for any clue,

So the idea is that SPI would be their US fund?

Yes, in a similar manner to the way Debian use SPI in the US but FFIS in
Europe. They have an existing organisation that suits their local needs
well, but doesn't interoperate well with global donor requirements.

Hi Anivar. Please note that Swathanthra Malayalam Computing hasn't been
accepted as an SPI associated project yet. The vote is due to occur at
the next board meeting, which will be held at Thursday, 11th July, 2013 at
20:00 UTC.

This is an amended version of the resolution presented for the July 11th
AGM; I have altered paragraph 1 to include reference to the SMC mission
statement and some examples of how this ties in with the purposes listed
in article 2 of our by-laws.

We're on a tight deadline if SMC are to be able to use us to handle
their GSoC funds (Josh has indicated he needs to know within the next
week). If you have an objection to the resolution below please suggest
updated text that would alleviate your concerns.

I'm presenting this for an email vote by the board (which requires
unanimous approval).

WHEREAS

1. Swathanthra Malayalam Computing is a substantial and significant Free
Software project, engaged in the development, localization,
standardization and popularization of various Free and Open Source
Softwares in Malayalam language. This aligns with SPI's stated purposes
such as "support, encourage and promote the creation and development of
software available to the general public", "endeavor to monitor and
improve the quality of currently existing publicly available software"
and "foster, promote and increase access to software systems available
to the general public"

2. The Swathanthra Malayalam Computing developers would like SPI's support
and assistance, including taking donations.

THE SPI BOARD RESOLVES THAT

3. Swathanthra Malayalam Computing is formally invited to become an SPI
Associated Project, according to the SPI Framework for Associated
Projects, SPI Resolution
1998-11-16.iwj.1-amended-2004-08-10.iwj.1, a copy of which can be found

Malayalam Computing and is responsible in the first instance for

the event of the need for a replacement Santhosh Thottingal and/or Praveen
Arimbrathodiyill will act as backups.

5. This invitation will lapse, if not accepted, 60 days after it is
approved by the SPI Board.

I apologise for mistyping the URL but I had it correct before and that
English link does not seem to work in Firefox 22+NoScript.

it is a jquey based script library . It is a good library to handle
multilingual links with equal weight to languages . The library will
identify user language based on your browser language settings.

Nevertheless, running a remote program on one's local computer should
not be necessary to get essentially static information from the site.

Some users quite sensibly do not enable running scripts from every site
indiscriminately, and sites should be designed so they gracefully fall
back to pages which don't require scripts.

They are looking to join SPI in order to receive funds in the US, not
for an accessible website evaluation. Have a sense of proportion, please.

Sure. Access to the information on that website was desirable to help
SPI members fulfil their oversight responsibility if they'd not heard of
SMC before.

Happily, useful information was offered by email, for which I thanked
people. So I consider the SPI-relevant part of this concluded and ask
others to be cautious about continuing this discussion on-list ;-)

For the avoidance of any doubt I vote "Yes" to this resolution and have
seen "Yes" votes from all other board members, thus meeting the
requirement of a unanimous vote in order to accept SMC as an associated
project.
