Odia language gets a new Unicode font converter
t: Using the Unicode standard @psubhashish & company is making material in Odia searchable on the internet:https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/20/odia-language-gets-a-new-unicode-font-...
t : How do you search the internet without being able to use the correct font code? The Odia community is doing this:https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/20/odia-language-gets-a-new-unicode-font-...
f/g: With a sea of material in the Odia language unsearchable on the Internet, the new Unicode font converter hopes to bridge the gap and make this information available for all to use. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/20/odia-language-gets-a-new-unicode-font-...
I don't think we can assume that the audience already know what Odia is. Also, we should try to indicate how this is related at all to Wikipedia/Wikimedia. How about these instead:
T: Odia #Unicode converter by @psubhashish and other Wikipedians makes this Indian language more accessible on the web
FB/G+: There is a sea of material in the Odia language that is unsearchable on the Internet. With a new Unicode font converter, Indian Wikipedians hope to bridge the gap and make this information available for all to use.
Drafts/Wikipedia for Schools Project
t: A curated list of Wikipedia articles might be key to a well-rounded education for schoolchildren in remote areas:https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/20/wikipedia-for-schools-project/
t: What would happen if you curated the largest encyclopedia to teach schoolchildren. This program is doing just that:https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/20/wikipedia-for-schools-project/
f/g: “The 2013 edition has 6,000 articles, 26 million words and 50,000 images.” The “Wikipedia for Schools” program is bringing the world’s largest encyclopedia into the classroom for children all over the world by curating specific articles to fit their curriculum.https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/06/20/wikipedia-for-schools-project/
