Description Denis Jacquerye 2006-01-04 21:58:57 UTC
splitting from Bug 2693.

There are keyboard layouts at http://kasa.ghanathink.org/locales and
http://undef.host.sk/gfk/index.php ; they could be included. 
Also see http://www.quicktopic.com/16/H/9xffAXi7whnv

For a more general keyboard for Ghana see list of required characters:

For a list of languages spoken in Ghana:

(many of those languages either share characters or do not have defined
orthographies)

Ghm, I feel a bit lost among all these languages and layouts mentioned in the
URLs you provided, they are a bit too exotic for me:) Please would you be able
to summarize it into some patch against the current xkeyboard-config CVS?

There might be additions or improvements but if it's OK it can go into CVS.

Thanks a lot. Committed with some minor changes (the group names in the symbols
file)
