Happy to be a part of First Wiki Academy. Thanks to Arjun for pulling me in and look forward for more such activities.
It was really interesting to see librarians looking at wikipedia. Many asked questions on relevance of data, accuracy, authenticity of data and more. Observation:- All government employees here in Karnataka use Nudi in their offices and it was little difficult for them to get used to phonetic transliteration keyboard attached to Kannada wiki. Is there any provision to add multiple key layouts (itrans/KGP/inscript) to wikipedia for each language? If yes, how. Any pointers or hacks would be very much appreciated.
