Technology As An Obstacle

Firstly, sorry it took me so long to get started.

I've always wondered whether the current limitations on font encodings and display and more so, input methods, were a systemic cause for a relative lack of content within Indic language Wikipedias? From what I know, this high barrier of entry makes it difficult for people to contribute outside of those who have the technical skills to deal with the input issues. Would a transliteration tool, a la, Google Transliterate, make it easier?

That said, it remains to be seen, and I look forward to hearing from you, whether this is a de-facto problem.
