Reason	no support. Pecopteris (talk) 05:13, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Details of the proposal
Project description	Girgit, a tool for transliteration between the Indian scripts has been released under the GPL. It is worth investigating whether it can be integrated to the Konkani and Sanskrit Wikipedias, which have multiple writing scripts. The word Girgit means Chameleon in Hindi.
Is it a multilingual wiki?	gom, sa, others as necessary
Potential number of languages	Multiple
Technical requirements
New features to require	Girgit seems to be written in Java based on the Git archive at Google Code. I don't know how well this will integrate into MediaWiki software, so another user will have to evaluate this.
Additional project settings	Further comments on the settings? for example; Will images and files be able to be uploaded to the project?

@RaviC: You may want to propose this as a ticket at Phab:--what you want to do is change how some of the software works rather than propose a new project. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:46, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
