[Wikimedia-IN-PUN] Fw: [Bug 32669] Enable Narayam on mr.wikipedia

[सुशान्त देवळेकर(Sushant Devlekar)]

Thanks for this forward.
In my opinion the transliteration should not be the default input method.
It should made available as non default.
1. Inscript is the standard keyboard layout approved by Govt. of India and
thus it is our duty to encourage it's use.
2. When we make inscript non default, we are encouraging people not tto use
it.
3. If any one does not know or does not want to use Inscript, she can use
other methods i. e. transliteration etc.
4. There is no standard transliteration scheme available. All available
schemes differ with each other in some points. Thus it is not a wise
decision to make a non standard method as default. It should be available
as non default.

आता सांगायला कोणतंही कारण उरलेलं नाही.
आळस हा कधीच समर्थनीय नसतो.
मराठी दिसायला आता कशाचीही आडकाठी नाही. (www.yunikodatunmarathi.blogspot.com)
मराठी लिहायला आपल्या सोयीचे कळपाट वापरता येतात. (www.bhashaindia.com)
आता आपल्या लिपीत संगणकावर काम करता न येण्याचा किंवा परक्या लिपीतून आपल्या
भाषा लिहिण्याचा करंटेपणा सोडून द्या.
विज्ञानयुगात मागे राहू नका, युनिकोडाचा वापर करा.
देवनागरीत लिहायचा आळस करू नका.
