on to make an edit within 10 days. It was surprising
to see that Hindi Wikipedia had a very different rate that some other projects >(see

I doubt there is any one explanation but I wonder how many of them
give up and go home when they realise the difficulties, for a new
user, of Hindi (and other Indic) language input systems and the maze
of options that exist. Also, anecdotally, most Indian publishing
workflows and print shops do not use Unicode encodings for text
either.
I'm sure there are more data points that just this?
Thank you.
Best,
