[Wikimediaindia-l] Indic languages & unicode issues.

[CherianTinu Abraham]

Hi all,
Happened to see Gerard's blog post on issues with Malayalam Wikipedia
& Unicode upgrade to 5.1
http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.com/2010/12/malayalam-enigma.html While
traffic to websites ( yes, including Wikipedia ) is primary driven by search
traffic ,apparently this had a negative effect as shown by WM stats. As he
explains, the problem is there needs to be canonical equivalence between the
old and new Unicode .. This is a larger issue and it is time that the
foundation has a stake on the Unicode consortium ( and search engines too ?
;)  )..

Thoughts ?

Regards
Tinu Cherian
