Ok, will do.
Also, your link below to the 'request a new language'-page on
translatewiki does not work. There seems to be an obligatory period at
the end as part of the link. [1]
Finally, looking at Ho language's page list on Incubator [2], I find
most pages in an unrecognised script whereas [hoc-deva] seems to be just
a handful. Or am I misinterpreting what I see on my screen?
I'll keep you posted once I get a reply.

Ah, curious. Could you perhaps also ask whether there
are any websites
in Ho at all? Or would Wikipedia be the first one?

I had written to a linguist contact with connections to a Ho
literacy and translation project. Interestingly enough, all work
and publications of that project is written in the Odia / Oriya
script [1], i.e. in neither of the three mentioned so far. I've
been put in contact with a Ho person on that project's staff and
hope to receive more information about scope and target group of
those publications and their acceptability.
Fwiw,

Hi,
There is a proposal to add support for the Ho language to
transaltewiki:
https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/Request_to_start_a_new_langua…
<https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/Request_to_start_a_new_language>.
It is for now not implemented, and the explanation is that the
request is to do it in the Warang Citi writing system, and
Ethnologue says that it is "no longer in use". I strongly suspect
that Ethnologue is not quite correct on this matter, because
there are three sources that contradict it:
* the encoding proposal by Michael Everson
* the page at Scriptsource to which Ethnologue itself links
* an article by Norman Zide, linked from Scriptsource
I have no direct knowledge of this language, but the sources
above seem more convincing to me than Ethnologue itself.
The remaining question, however, is whether we should add more
than one variant for this language (hoc-wara, hoc-deva, and
perhaps hoc-latn) or should it be just hoc, and assumed to be
written in Warang Citi?
Thanks!
