Happy to be a part of First Wiki Academy. Thanks to Arjun for pulling me in and look forward for more such activities. It was really interesting to see librarians looking at wikipedia. Many asked questions on relevance of data, accuracy, authenticity of data and more. Observation:- All government employees here in Karnataka use Nudi in their offices and it was little difficult for them to get used to phonetic transliteration keyboard attached to Kannada wiki. Is there any provision to add multiple key layouts (itrans/KGP/inscript) to wikipedia for each language? If yes, how. Any pointers or hacks would be very much appreciated.

Yes it is possible. See the Narayam extension<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-Sep… to Tamil, Malayalam, Sanskrit Wikipedias. Also Bengali, Hindi, and Marathi wikipedias use a similar tool developed by Junaid. But to integrate additional typing schemes to Kannada wikipedia, support from few Kannada wikipedians is required. We need to test the typing schemes before it is integrated to wikipedia. Please let me know in case any support is required regarding this.

Regarding Key layouts, if you are meaning support at the OS level, it is easy in Linux as all these are supported ibus with m17n. For the Windows platform that is more common, Inscript has been setup on the machines in the lab. As practising with transliteration is easier to start, we focussed on that. We should cover other keyboard methods in future events Cheers Arjun
