Dear MyMyanmar, I would like to get a download link for Anawrahta. I am testing various Unicode 5.1 fonts and have been busy with fine tuning the CSS file so that people with ZawGyi font as default would be able to enjoy Wikipedia properly. Take at look at my [[User:ကိုရာဝီ/monobook.css|monobook.css]] --[[User:ကိုရာဝီ|RaviC]] <span style="font-family: serif">([[User_talk:ကိုရာဝီ|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/ကိုရာဝီ|contribs]])</span> 11:48, 21 ဇူလိုင် 2008 (UTC)
:When it is ready we will make it available. ''Please'' be patient with us. [[User:Evertype|Evertype]] 17:27, 21 ဇူလိုင် 2008 (UTC)

Hey MyMyanmar, glad to hear you're back. I think Wikipedia interface translation is still needed, we're at 12%, but I that's not the major hindering factor here. I think since Wikipedia is practically pioneering full-scale usage of Unicode 5.1, it's going to be hard to get users, still using Zawgyi instead, to make a switch. This is a critical reason why people sign up, but realize their computers are incompatible with Unicode (I haven't faced this problem only because I have Vista and XP SP3 installed) and can't contribute. I dislike the idea of allowing users to use Zawgyi because it only prolongs the font's product life, even though there are better technologies (Unicode) out there now. Since you work for a Unicode distributor, perhaps it would be a good idea to promote Wikipedia among colleagues and others with internet access. I'm disappointed at the factioning of the Myanmar Wikipedia, but maybe it'd be a good idea for everyone to brainstorm ideas to increase usership and contributions.
There is definitely interest to work on the Myanmar Wikipedia. Compared to other Wikipedias our size, we have 2x the number of registrations they do ([http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias#1_000.2B_articles link]), with 970 currently. Even the Cambodian Wikipedia, with ~1000 articles, has 100 fewer users. The primary obstacle facing this Wikipedia is the lack of support for Unicode on computers. There's no way we and a few others can quickly build this Wikipedia to 1000+ articles without more hands.
If you have any other ideas on how to break through to the Myanmar community about Wikipedia, clarify Unicode on [[Wikipedia:Font]], please feel free to do so. And if you have more ideas on what else we can do to get this project going, leave a message. --<font style="color:#49798C">[[User:Hintha|ဟင်္သာ]]</font><font style="background-color:#49798C"><sup><font style="color:#FFFFFF;">[[User talk:Hintha|talk]]</font></sup></font> ၀၀:၂၈၊ ၁၀ ဩဂုတ် ၂၀၀၈ (UTC)
