I am delighted to say that now several people (among them one linguist and one journalist) [if you want to know who, I can tell you ofc, but I don't feel comfortable to put their names here without having asked them about that priorly, as this list is now public] have contacted me via Wikimedia Nepal to say that the test-content is indeed written in Maithili. In fact I daresay this was a beneficial inquiry, as some of them want to become contributors now. \o/ Am 07.10.2014 02:21 schrieb "MF-Warburg" <[email protected]>:
