Hoi,
The Narayam extension was developed to support keyboard methods. It was
first developed for the Malayalam language as a script that was running
locally and then as Junaid PV became a MediaWiki developer, it and the
support for other languages was included in this extension.
I blogged today about the relevance of this functionality and I asked Raon,
one of the MediaWiki developers, if he is happy to bring it into production
and finally I asked the good people at
translatewiki.net to support its
localisation.
So this is the situation:
- this project can support many languages
- for some languages more testing is needed
- for some languages there is a request to be included
- some languages are included
- Shiju Alex is coordinating this effort
- Junaid PV is developing the code
- You are needed to localise this software at
translatewiki.net
As I know it, this is the first software contribution coming from the Indian
communities and, I could not be more pleased with it. Please help by helping
yourself and yes, we would like to see more Indian MediaWiki developers :)
Thanks,
GerardM
