I wonder about the following points:

1.) script
Ethnologue says they use Kannada and Latin <
https://www.ethnologue.com/language/gom>. Translatewiki.net offers the
possibility to also translate in Devanagari, Malayalam and Arabic scripts <
https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Portal:Gom>.
How should this be handled? On Incubator I see that there are articles in
Latin, Kannada and Devanagari, see e.g. <
https://incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:PrefixIndex&from=Wp%2Fgom%2Fdn%2F%E0%A4%B5%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%9A%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%95_%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%82%E0%A4%A4_%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B0&prefix=Wp%2Fgom%2F&columns=3>
It seems like they are distinguished with "dn" and "kd"
 prefixes. Some pages also contain several scripts in one article. How
should this be handled? Should there be separate wikis for each script, or
better a converter? I wouldn't want a situation like with az/azb to appear
because of different scripts.

2.) content
Gerard, can you elaborate? Who confirmed this?

Also I see some doubtful content, atm mainly this category <
https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wp/gom/Jezucheo_Vopareo>
which contains biblical parables, each including in English a "Meditation
[which] may be freely reprinted for non-commercial use [...] © 2014
Servants of the Word"; I am now removing these from the articles.
