വിക്കിപീഡിയ, ഒരു സ്വതന്ത്ര വിജ്ഞാനകോശം.

Hi Vinod,

Thanks for your pointers. I tried adding a small paragraph about wiki. I am not sure how to save it as malayalam link itself. Finally I saved as wiki itself. Anyway, it was great fun typing something in Malayalam. I requested Cibu a few months back to fix the export to HTML bug and it is there. That was a great relief. As you rightly pointed out, Malayalam unicode support is not really impressive in Windows browsers, though IE is doing a better job than Mozilla and Opera. The screen shots of Linux show that Linux support it very well. Your idea of starting a yahoo group to store articles is a great idea. We could even get people organized for contributing to this effort.

Thanks,

Sudhir

Vinod, Inspired by your idea of starting a group, I initiated a group called mallupedians@yahoogroups.com. Please join. The main issue I find in Malayalam wikipedia is that our language is not as much powerful as English when it comes to technology. Many occations, I could not find a proper translation either, may be that I am forgetting Malayalam. In this group, in addition to storing the files, we could discuss such issues as well. Your thoughts are most welcome.

Yes, it was me who joined yesterday under "keralanow" userid. I too find "vivarasaankethika vidya" very odd and expressing only a percentage of the real meaning of information technology. However, many people refer to IT in that word, that's why I mentioned it there. I completely agree with you that Malayalam should imbibe English words if necessary, instead of circumventing to fabricate a meaningless word. Sanscritizing the word is even worse because it makes no sense for most of us. Currently I guess there are only 3 people in this project. Once more people join, the momentum will improve. Also, I think we should give an English link on how to contribute. Even before communicating with you, I visited ml.pedia many times, but could not get link on writing stuff there, and I had to quit. A quick link will make interested people join.

Hello, I don't know where else to ask. Once you've read my request, you may delete this.

I am collecting the word for the number 47 ("forty-seven") in as many languages as possible. So far I have 184 languages, can you help me and tell me how you write the word in Malayalam? It'd be best if you write the answer onto my User page in both the original Malayalam script and a transcription, so I will see it. Thanks in advance,

hi friend,

Im from kerala, it is very good step to creat a malayalam edition in wikipedia. But difficult to read the text, for some occasions we cannot even see a letter instead of 'blocks'. First we have to resolve problem. Really, i think we can solve it by adding the correct font with the page, downloading the page, the person can read it any way, can u do so?.

then after i m ready to contribute to this page, especially by translating articles of wiki's english edition. it is better to do so to get much more accuracy for our writings, try to do so and contact me . we have to get much more Kerala people to participate in this effort to create a free encyclopedia in our mother tongue, Anazcp contact me anazcp@yahoo.co.in +919847472802
