Summary
For scripts like the Ge'ez alphabet there is an incomplete font and there are Wikipedias like the Amharic Wikipedia that would benefit from complete support
Proposal
We either support financially or we support the fundraising needed to build the font. In this way we enable the growth of our projects that rely on these scripts.
Motivation
When we are serious that our local languages do well (Amharic 17 million people) we have to take care of the technical issues that we can resolve. There may be other reasons why a language is not doing well. We cannot buy everyone a computer, we can find the funds to build a font.
Key Questions
Are we serious that we support other languages.. There are indications that we are, now is this the practical thing we are willing to do?
Potential Costs
No idea.. It does not need to be much, have however no idea..
