Hi Damodar,
Like Shiju has earlier replied to you ,
There is already a Wikipedia project (in the incubator stage ) for Goanese Konkani. It is available here http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/gom
You can start contributing to it, Inspire others too and gradually make it a standalone language Wikipedia.
If you are interested, I can probably connect you to Gurudath Baliga, Asst Director of Konkani Vishwa Kendra, who is passionate about the same.
Regards Tinu Cherian
P.S. For other Wikipedia Projects in Incubation, You can find them here http://wiki.wikimedia.in/List_of_Indian_language_wiki_projects#Projects_unde...

GOA is a State with all its communities speaking in one language
"KONKANI" without even
having a Primary School in its own Mother-tongue,as it was ruled by
foreign rulers for
more than four centuries. Can 'WIKIMEDIA' organization be of any help? With best regards, Damodar V. Bale, Margao-GOA.

Probable offtopic: i read once that konkani use atleast 3 scripts (devanagiri, kannada, malayalam). If webfonts can switch appropriate font according to a user, while keeping one encoding as base (devanagiri?) , may help new generation people, who are now part of other states, and living under dominance of other languages can approach the wiki more confidently.

It's not so much a matter of WebFonts, as of script conversion. MediaWiki already supports this for for several languages, most notably Chinese and Serbian.
We at the WMF L10n team can probably add support for Konkani, too, but we'll need a specification of requirements from an expert on that language.

One does not even know how to begin helping out. For one, there are so many dialects, hardly any Konkani speaks the same dialect as the next Konkani guy he meets. The Gomantak variety is sufficiently different from the other versions to justify forks. And we have only just begun!

Each script and dialect should be developed separately for now. Only once there is sufficient growh in Konkani's presence on the Wikipedia should be worry about transliterations from one script to another... Just a thought.

Developing each dialect is too complex. It doesn't look feasible.
As the old military expression goes, the impossible just takes a little longer. Choose one script/dialect combination (organically, not by diktat), develop it to a starting point, and I venture to suggest that enthusiasts will come forward to support developing the variants.

Hey guys, Sitting in Serbia Open GLAM conference, we had a similar discussion with Adrienne about small language wikipedias/projects. Those guys are looking at small languages in French territories and their numbers are of course really really small. Konkani by that scale is quite big. I was just wondering if it would be any help to you, I can connect you to her and she can tell you about some fantastic things they have done in terms on offline wikipedias for smaller language communities and so on. Cheers Noopur
