[Wikimediaindia-l] Article Feedback Tool v5 : Indian Perspective

The design is strangely synonymous with Indian comment boards. I strongly feel, having this on India articles will generate more trash than any feedback and 100x load more on editors to cut the junk, moderate etc. If you are not familiar with Indian message boards, please read[2] (That was a very tough RS to catch which is self mocking given the site's reputation!). AFTv5 is looking for feedback, I hope this thread can give some constructive feedback given the list audience's familiarity with Indian message boards.

It is being hosted and administered by User:Effeietsanders from WM-NL who has been kind enough to suggest this idea and get the list made. I invite you all interested in starting and contributing to discussions regarding WLM-IN to join the list. :) Happy posting and do spread the word!

Software engineers, designers, and translators are welcome. We're tentatively planning to focus on internationalisation and localisation, mobile and offline Wikipedia access, and the gadgets framework. I aim to get more details in the next two weeks. If you're interested, please leave your name and your email address, or a link to your user page, on that event page. (A real registration system is coming soon.) Thanks! And please feel free to publicize this elsewhere. I've heard that, when marketing, you have to get the message to the recipient three times in three different ways before you have a good chance they've noticed it. So if you need something to help get the word out -- a sample tweet/dent, a leaflet, etc. -- let me know. Thanks! The registration page (to request an invitation to attend) is now open.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Android ICS support for Tamil and Indic languages
Hi, I did some testing on how the recently released Android ICS supports Indic languages. *Tamil, Bengali, Marathi and Hindi are the only Indian languages supported for now*. Oh ya, it can also show English well without a problem ;) You can view the findings in details at http://microblog.ravidreams.net/2011/12/android-ics-support-for-tamil-indic-languages/ Screen shots with description can be found at https://picasaweb.google.com/115896376016313561916/AndroidICSSupportForIndicLanguages?authuser=0feat=directlink# I could not view the web fonts in Kannada, Telugu Wikipedias as Gerard has indicated at http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.com/2011/12/new-android.html Please let me know if I have to configure anything. One major To Do for all Indic Wiki projects: The mobile version homepage of most of the Indic Wikipedias is not showing anything except the search box. Please configure this well. You can see ta.m.wikipedia.org for example.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Android ICS support for Tamil and Indic languages
I wouldn't say supported. Language support generally includes: - display/rendering - input - keyboard layouts - fonts Only few years before even PCs supported all of these and it will take more years to get this in all gadgets. So, the only expectation now is to at least display the characters well. Input is the next priority which can be solved by 3rd party apps for time being once the display issue is solved. - spellcheckers - dictionaries We don't have reliable and exhaustive solutions for these yet even in PC. Only some online dictionaries and alpha level spell checkers for browsers are available in FOSS.
