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.

Dear All From Marathi Language Wikipedia we had requested mediawiki technical team to make a phonetic Marathi font transliteration system default for all anonymous users and new editors who have not completed edits upto 500 edits just simply because if we study edits of new comers and anonymous users it seems that they usualy do not understand how to enable present optional transliteration system.
the Narayam extension as updated for Marathi Language is in beta version available for testing at translatewiki.nethttp://translatewiki.net/wiki/Portal:Mr. We have received following reply to our Our technical request which is submitted at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32669
This is for your information and discussion after the discussion we will put the information on Marathi Wikipedia poll page and confirm apropriate marathi wikipedia community decesion.
Following forwarded reply is self explanatory, We seek openions from all of you so this is for your information and discussion .Please keep this discussion in english so non marathi development team members can understand our discussion.
Regards mahitgar

The extension is available at translatewiki.net , and we marked as beta till we get feedback from the community that it is stable can be enabled in mr.wikipedia. So please test and give us confirmation that it works as expected.
1)Narayam should be default font inputting system for all unregistered
users

We can make Narayam enabled by default. But the extension does not check the edits count.
- The requested inputting facility should be applicable on all
namespaces
including inter active popup windows meant for inserting links and
references
This should be ok.
3)Also applicable at edit summary,all search windows,all input boxes
specialy
"type=create" group
The extension will be enabled in all editable fields.
4)Shall have Marathi inscript keyboard layout option too as per windows non-default option
Transliteration is the default one.
5)Should be applicable to all skins including vector
We don't support all the mediiawiki skins. Extension supports Vector, Monobook, Modern skins.
- Narayam should be default to above said user category to New User
Creation
and User Login
Extension does not distinguish uses based on any category.
7.Narayam keyboard structure should be editable to Marathi Wikipedia
sysops at
local level
No, The extension does not provide this feature.
If the community is ok with the extension after verifying it at translatewiki.net, please inform us here. We will enable it in mr wikis in the next i18n deployment.
