Thanks for the feedback, Brion.
Focus during the hackathon was primarily on desktop, but in the nearest possible future, mobile would of course be the next target. Current limitation is that the on-screen prototype only works for InScript mappings, and not for for example transliteration or Esperanto x-encoding.
We're currently completing and improving Narayam wrt to mappings for Indic languages as well as getting ready for a first wave of WebFonts deployment on December 12. We got loads of feedback from the Indic speakers during the hackathon in Mumbai an the translation sprint and introduction to MediaWiki sessions in Pune.
After that, the on-screen keyboard, as well as a new user interface language picker, for which I hope Brandon will be making the first sketches available soon. We hope to have those ready by mid-January.

I'm quite intrigued by the on-screen keyboard for the Narayam input method. I haven't seen it in action, but the screenshots look nice -- it's showing what chars would get typed and you can click on them directly or use it as a guide for the physical keyboard. Sweet!
This could be really awesome if well-integrated on mobile and tablet form-factors as well, though I'm a bit unsure if we can cleanly 'replace' the stock systems' on-screen touch keyboards (say by somehow skipping actual input focus and simulating it?)
