UJanayugom iyiphephandaba lansuku zonke elinyatheliswa esifundazweni saseKerala (eNdiya) ngolimi lwesiMalayalam futhi linababhalisile abangaba ngu-100,000.
Kuze kube muva nje, bebesebenzisa i-Adobe PageMaker yokuphathelene, kepha iminyaka yesoftware (ukukhululwa kokugcina bekuvele ku-2001), kanye nokuntuleka kokusekelwa kwe-Unicode, kuphushe abaphathi ukuthi babheke ezinye izindlela.
Ukuthola leyo mboni ejwayelekile ye-Adobe InDesign idinga ukubhalisa kwanyanga zonke esikhundleni selayisense yesikhathi esisodwa, leli phephandaba elingenakukwazi ukuyikhokhela, abaphathi baphendukele ku-Typography Institute yendawo. Lapho belulekwa ukuthi bavule uScribus, baphinde baheha abantu abambalwa abavela I-Indian Open Source Community.
Ngenxa yalokho, ukusabalalisa kwethu siqu kwadalwa Janayugom GNU/Linux okusekelwe ku-Kubuntu, okuhlanganisa ezinye izindlela zesofthiwe yokuphathelene njenge-Scribus, i-Gimp, i-Inkscape, i-Krita, i-Shotwell.
Amafonti amathathu ayathuthukiswa (eyodwa seyiqediwe kakade) esekela izinhlamvu zamagama ezigcwele zesiMalayalam. Idalwe i-Janayugom Edit ukuze ikuvumele ukuthi uvule amafayela akhona e-PageMaker ukuze ugweme ukusebenzisa iWindows ngokuphelele.
Abasebenzi bephephandaba abangaphezu kwe-100 baphothule ukuqeqeshwa kwezinsuku ezinhlanu: usuku lokuqala lokujwayela isitaki kanye nenqubo yomsebenzi, usuku lwesibili lokusebenza ne-GIMP ne-Inkscape, izinsuku ezintathu ezisele - uScribus. Kuphinde kwabanjwa ukuqeqeshwa okuhlukene kwabathwebuli bezithombe nabaphathi bezinhlelo.
Kusukela ngo-Okthoba 2 (iminyaka engu-150 kusukela kwazalwa uMahatma Gandhi), zonke izinhlelo zephephandaba zisebenzisa ngokugcwele isitaki samahhala sokulungiselela nokuhlelwa kwezinto. Ngemva kwenyanga yomsebenzi oyimpumelelo, impumelelo yamenyezelwa obala yinhloko kahulumeni waseKerala.
Ngokulandela isibonelo sika-Janayugom, isikhungo sezobuntatheli sahlela umhlangano wokucobelelana ngolwazi wezinsuku ezimbili nabamele amaphephandaba endawo ukuze bahlole amathuba nezinzuzo zokusebenzisa isofthiwe yamahhala.
