Thanks. This is a contribution of a significant size, so we would need a copyright assignment from you before we could accept it. Would you be willing to start a legal paperwork rolling, so that we could accept this and your future contributions? > -(if nil > - (quail-define-package "malayalam-itrans" "Malayalam" "MlmIT" t "Malayalam ITRANS")) > -(quail-define-indian-trans-package > - indian-mlm-itrans-v5-hash "malayalam-itrans" "Malayalam" "MlmIT" > - "Malayalam transliteration by ITRANS method.") I'm not sure I understand: does this delete the ITRANS method? Would it make sense to leave it, and just add the new one? And please also note that lisp/language/indian.el references the malayalam-itrans method; should that be changed as well?
