Learn why the Indonesian Wikipedia has a much easier ride.. Fix the
language technology issues.
Yes you are correct.
Indonesian language use Latin script. That is why it has a much easier ride.
As you have rightly pointed out there are many technology issues that needs
to be fixed for most of the Indian languages. But many of us still do not
understand the importance of these.

Hoi,
The Dutch Wikipedia is currently the number 10 in traffic. With only som 20
million people speaking the language there is plenty of scope for Indian
languages to do better. Wishing them to do better makes no difference.
So here are a few things that will make a difference:
- Make sure that the Indian chapter has money to spend. Make sure that
Jimmy's message is localised and that the messages at translatewiki.netthat deal
with the donations are localised (Hindi is at 0% Malayalam at
100%)
- Make sure that the localisation for your language is complete and up
to date. This represents a vast improvement in usability
- Make sure that the public finds the articles they are looking for.\
- Learn why the Indonesian Wikipedia has a much easier ride.. Fix the
language technology issues.
- Have a plan on how your community will prioritise the things that
need doing
- Be happy with any and all improvements and let it be known.. A
positive happy atmosphere in itself makes it easier to have fun while
realising objectives (ie doing the work)
Having money helps, making sure that the Fundraiser does an optimal job
needs to be done now. It also shows the WMF organisation that "you" are to
be taken seriously.
Thanks,
GerardM
