Thanks, Ashwin!
Manoj, thanks for bringing up this need. It won't make it into this
round of prioritization, but it can be added to the backlog. I would
happily create a Phabricator ticket on your behalf, but I need to better
understand the need you describe. Where would you like to use Indic
numerals, exactly? In template parameters, for example? (i.e. instead of
the 1 and 2 in: {{some_template|1=this|2=that}}?)
Could you give some examples of what you meant?
Thanks,
A.

Asaf, thanks to you, I got alerted and could
support whatever seemed
worthwhile to me in the context of English Wikimedia projects :)
Thanks

Hi Manoj,
Unfortunately it’s a little too late to propose new projects in the
survey.
:( Sorry.
We did publicize the survey on all village pumps and on
Wikimedia-l/Wikitech-l. Please let us know a better way to publicize
the
survey next time so that you don’t miss it again.
We’ll be holding it
periodically (every year).
Thanks.

Hi Asaf,
Sorry for pitching in late. Can you please take up a project with
concerned
teams to address a very big concern of Hindi
Wikipedia, and I assume
this
must be the issue in all other indic wukis too.
Can we have some arrangement where indic numerics are accepted in all
functions and templates for carrying out calculations just like normal
numbers?
Presently indic numerics are treated by software as mere symbols and
can not
be used for calculations. This is creating huge
problems for us in
maintenance tasks.
I am not from any technical background, so I have highlighted the
problem in
layman's language. I do hope our friends with
software background will
help
in defining the issue in technical terms.
Regards,
Manoj.
