Description Prabhakar Sarma Neog 2011-10-30 02:22:10 UTC
Please enable Narayam extension for Assamese wikipedia (as.wikipedia.org). 
Along with Assamese input please enable other language inputs also.

These are two requests:
* Adding additional inputs is a feature that will be available for everyone soon.

I propose we confine the scope of this bug to enabling Narayam on aswiki (although it might be a good idea to enable it on as*).
Comment 2 Prabhakar Sarma Neog 2011-11-01 03:17:31 UTC
Agreed. We need it primarily to input Assamese. 
Thanks.
Comment 3 Prabhakar Sarma Neog 2011-11-01 03:19:31 UTC
Agreed. We need it primarily to input Assamese. 
Thanks.

Siebrand, is it worth blanket installing Narayam on all wikis where it is of use?

Enabled on aswiki anyway

Yes, but not in this state. Its usability for non-technical users still leaves a lot to be desired. When we're done with it, we think it can just be enabled anywhere.

Two major features are needed before we can do that:
- we need to be able to visually indicate what the mapping looks like (possibly as a fully functional on-screen keyboard)
- preferences for Narayam, WebFonts and a language picker (Keiry or something as a proof of concept in SVN by Niklas at the moment) need to be available in a single pretty JavaScript UI for both anonymous users (in cookies) as well as for logged in users (preferences based backend implementation).

I expect we'll get there somewhere somewhere in q1-2012. Until then, we can enable on a request basis, and/or we will target the wikis that have the most use for or or that are at the top of our priority list (Indic language wikis mainly).

Hope this clarifies things.

I agree that Narayam is not ready for blanket installation.  The Assamese Wikipedia Community has worked on the transliteration scheme and have produced the following.

https://translatewiki.net/wiki/User:Chaipau/translit

This should be implemented first.
Comment 7 Siebrand Mazeland 2011-11-01 10:59:18 UTC
Apparently is was already installed in its current state (without any support for Assamese, if I recall correctly). You'll be receiving regular updates. Please open a new issue for every update you would like to see to the key mapping for Assamese. This fits our process better.
