Software developed by Nandakumar Edamana include tools used by general public like Paraympole input tool for Indian languages, Unicode Malayalam converter, Theeram dictionary app (based on Olam) for GNU/Linux, etc. They are all available here, under Free Software (free as in freedom) licenses. However, he has been focusing on custom programming languages, compilers and other tools for developers for a while. These projects call for real effort, so don't be surprised if you don't see much activity here now. You can expect these technical components to be released soon, which will in turn boost the development of existing and upcoming applications intended for general public.
So please make use of the limited set of resources available here, let Nandakumar know your feedback, and make sure to come back frequently to check for updates. You can subscribe to the free newsletter also.
