I agree that the community has been working hard on it, so on the whole it's probably approvable (or very close).

I do have two technical points to bring up:

* There are a number of pages with lines that were indented with spaces, thus throwing off the formatting of the page. Can someone please work with the community to fix those? (Example: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/sat/%E1%B1%A5%E1%B1%9F.%E1%B1%AB%E1%...) * Since this project will require a language review (first project in language), I would like to bring up the issue of the use of the Ol Chiki script in the project. I would like some assurance from whoever reviews the project that there will not be large numbers of Santali speakers frozen out because they cannot use the script. (I don't know that to be the case. I do know that in the last several months there has been a trend to move all content using other scripts to this script, and I want to make sure that's not really a problem.)

Hi everyone,

Santali is a language from the Indian subcontinent with around 6.3 billion speakers.

In a campaign of supporting Indian language Wikipedia program coordinated by Wikimedia Foundation , Google, Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN), two of their editors, Ramjit Tudu https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmeta.wikimedia.org%2Fwiki%2FUser%3ARamjit_Tudu&data=02%7C01%7C%7C721e21bf18824c82a93308d59e4b113b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636588967599631549&sdata=uNzdQgyqxOcVoL1IRRRkpALYgFNKq0bsBA3JHRbyvHE%3D&reserved=0 and Fagu Baskey https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmeta.wikimedia.org%2Fwiki%2FUser%3AFagu_Baskey&data=02%7C01%7C%7C721e21bf18824c82a93308d59e4b113b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636588967599631549&sdata=WWzUf%2FVRiMAEe%2BpNAbBzTbZ9VgtF60hUHKHtrVdQ3%2FA%3D&reserved=0 have received laptops for their consistent effort for Santali Wikipedia ( https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmeta.wikim...).
