Bisharat maintains an "A12n" gateway page to resources on African
language characters, encoding, fonts, and keyboards, with attention
mainly to languages using extended Latin character sets at
http://www.bisharat.net/A12N/ . Your feedback, additions, questions
would be most welcome.
Also on the Bisharat site are some "Basic Documents" on African
language policy, including some discussing orthographies:
