Applause also the the ULS team! ULS is awesome! I am looking forward to have IME switched on again, and to polish the last few bugs out.
Thanks for the great work!

This would probably be a good place to note that Wikidata is the big testing ground for the Universal Language Selector extension and for the new generation of WebFonts and IME (Narayam) extensions (more precisely, the first after translatewiki.net). There are still some issues, and Santhosh was working very hard in the last few days on resolving them.
We thank the Wikidata team for giving this a chance and for all their help, and we thank all the early testers for the patience and the bug reports!
