Hoi,
While testing the visual editor I changed my language in my preferences to
Tamil and it insist on the Latin script for entering text.
When it does allow for other scripts I will be very happy to open the
floodgates of Indic language users for you :) . I am sure that they will be
more eager to test the visual editor in a timely manner. This would be a
win-win situation because the visual editor seems to me to be a great
usability improvement
Also, consider the use of Narayam and WebFonts on the MediaWiki wiki. This
is necessary for an Indic environment and consequently testing in the Indic
scripts and languages.
Thanks,
Gerard
