This is given the current budget chicken feed. > Thanks, > GerardM This is not a comment on the amount of money but on the idea of improvements to scripts/fonts/standards etc. I understand there's been discussion about creating a list of problems for representing various languages on the internet. For example, some languages have problems being written online because they are not well supported in Unicode, or some don't have free fonts, etc. etc. These are problems for *any* website that wants to support that particular language. There are also bugs related to how *we* support particular languages in MediaWiki -- as far as I know these have mainly been collected in Bugzilla. So my questions are: 1) have there ever been any comprehensive lists made of these language-related bugs (either within MediaWiki or in general); and, 2) what needs to be done (technically) to support small(er) languages? (I know we, & in particular GerardM, have been discussing this for a long time. But I'm curious what the current state of affairs is, and if issues for small languages are collected together in one place). best, Phoebe _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
