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.
I must appreciate Shiva prakash for making time for this, despite a woking
day and delivering Kannada Wikipedia demo.
Regarding Key layouts, if you are meaning support at the OS level, it is
easy in Linux as all these are supported ibus with m17n. For the Windows
platform that is more common, Inscript has been setup on the machines in the
lab. As practising with transliteration is easier to start, we focussed on
that. We should cover other keyboard methods in future events
Nope, I'm talking about different transliteration layout's support embedded
into wikipedia editor.
Cheers
Arjun

Yes it is possible. See the Narayam
extensionhttp://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-September/004426.htmlintegrated
to Tamil, Malayalam, Sanskrit Wikipedias. Also Bengali, Hindi,
and Marathi wikipedias use a similar tool developed by Junaid.
This looks good and should take care of many concerns.
But to integrate additional typing schemes to Kannada wikipedia, support
from few Kannada wikipedians is required. We need to test the typing schemes
before it is integrated to wikipedia.
Shouldn't be an issue to test out. I can ask few of our friends to join
hands.
Please let me know in case any support is required regarding this.

I am happy to share the report on the first Wiki Academy organised by
Wikimedia Chapter.

Please spread the word around and help in identifying other institutions
for co-hosting future events
Chapter will be happy to send the brochures and provide any other
assistance.
Congratulations on this. It's really good to see the level of interest
it's generated. I especially loved reading the bit about them being shown
the basics of editing and being encourage to start editing and actually
starting 3 new articles. Wonderful stuff. I'm sure we'll see many more of
this.

Hi, Respect your views on using open platforms. At the same time, I feel strongly we need to use platforms where there users and specially indian users.
