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!
