PS: The front page and the title of the article on Basheer have INCORRECT Unicode which is why many of the chillaksharams there are rendered correctly in Windows with InternetExplorer and Thoolika font. I made these "corrections" when I discovered the Thoolika font and found out how I can get proper chill~ rendering. Later I found out that the "corrections" I made were in fact wrong under the Unicode standard. I haven't reverted these since it doesn't make much sense to do that till we have a setup where things work well. But when adding new articles, please try to stick to Varamozhi output which is often correct Unicode though it renders incorrectly in our setup. There are still some outstanding issues in Unicode which we hope will soon be standardized. That's why keeping the Varamozhi Malayalam-in-English text is important for the time being. I'm thinking of starting a page in yahoo groups where such files can be stored temporarily. Please let me know what you think of this idea.

To create a new link with a Malayalam title (in fact, we are supposed to have only Malayalam titles), the easiest method is to add an empty link from another page, say the main page: like so <nowiki> [[വരമൊഴി]] </nowiki> (which would appear in the page as a link, like so [[വരമൊഴി]]). Now open the page where you added the link and follow the newly made link. This will take you to the edit window where you can add material. Read [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3AHow_to_start_a_page How to start a page] from English Wikipedia to learn more. I've taken care of the title of the [[വിക്കി]] article you created. Looking forward to more.<br>
Ps: Cibu updated Varamozhi yesterday with a Unicode bug fix. [It was about the incorrect coding of mpa as m_pa]. Please download the updated varamozhi. This might show up incorrectly in Thoolika. This is a problem with the font. I've contacted Supersoft and they are now aware of the problem. If you suspect you have found any other bugs in Varamozhi in the way it encodes Unicode, do let me know. I can check whether it's a problem with Varamozhi or the font and let the appropriate person know. Currently known problems are<br>
:Problems with chill~. [this is a font problem]
:Problem with mpa. [was a Varamozhi and font problem, now the problem's only with the font]
