Hey there! :wave: Awesome tool.

I think the description for this repository could be a better better. I suggest: OSS reimplementation of iOS keyboard with support for localised keyboards. That might be more useful to newcomers than Giella keyboard for iOS.

Is this part of Giellatekno? I'm not sure what Giella means, and it is hard to tell from the README.

Thanks.

Hey! Thanks for the feedback!

I'll update the description momentarily. I'm wary of using the word 'support' yet because right now this repo is only supported when used with the kbdgen tool. I should update the README to explain that though...

I'll speak with @snomos about having a generic blurb about Divvun and related Northern Sami and Norwegian terms that appear in different places, we this code is getting a bit more attention lately (which I'm loving 😄 ).

Updating the README should fix that problem. Better to document it somewhere than nowhere. :)

That would be cool, too. One of the things I've been doing that seems to work well is to have a separate repository - I call it Welcome, normally - in an organization that gives a high-level overview of the work going on on the GitHub, and what means what (aka, "this repo is a fork, don't use it", "this repo is deprecated", "this is our main repo.") That might help with some global issues like introducing Sámi tech.

I found this repo through Giellatekno, which I found through my work on my listing of code for endangered languages at RichardLitt/endangered-languages. I've just finished going through the Divvun org and added what I thought was relevant. Would be great if you could give it a look if there's something I missed! Otherwise, keep up the good work. :)

I don't see anything missing, but I'll be sure to ping you if/when we add anything new and notable for that list. Thanks!
