Looks good. The site is also interesting. you seem to be doing a good job there.

In order to put it on the GNU site, we need it to be in HTML (and strongly 
prefer it to be UTF-8 encoded).
You can insert the tamil text into the original document 
(http://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.html), running over the english, so only the 
content will be tranlated, and all original tags will remain (I believe this is 
the best way), or you can recreate a page using our boilerplate 
(http://www.gnu.org/boilerplate.html).

We can also link to your document (I'm not sure about the format limitations in 
such a case), as an external translation, but we always prefer to have a local 
copy, which will be part of the website.

Thanks for your work!

p.s.

could you please tell me a bit about the tamil language? does the letters 
represent consonants (like hebrew and arabic), or are these phonemes (like in 
chinese)? some syntax would be nice too. I got curious about the language 
(nothing official) :)

thank you!
