Santhosh Thottingal gets commit access to Mediawiki
http://svn.wikimedia.org/users.php

Santhosh is working on web fonts extensions. Webfonts allows webpages to serve and render fonts from server, instead of relying on the fonts available in a users' system. This is used either for aesthetics purpose or for serving content in non-latin scripts where the supported fonts are rare in computers for eg: Indian languages - Most often users wont have enough good fonts in systems to see the content properly (they get squares, or question marks). This readability issue can be solved by webfonts

Congratulations and all the best wishes to Santhosh & his efforts.
