First web forum in old Irish script launched

category national | eu | news report author Monday February 01, 2010 22:37author by Brian Report this post to the editors

One of the ex No groups from the Lisbon campaign has launched a web forum that can be viewed entirely in old Irish script.

The Midlands Branch of the People's Movement, in consultation with other groups locally, has drawn up a special web forum which will hopefully serve to bring together the scattered remains of the defeated Lisbon No campaigners and help them coordinate matters and decide together what direction should now be taken. This is explained in the FAQs of that site avaible here: http://antilisbongroups.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=f...ad=13 .

In any case there are lots of webforums, old and new, that help to co-ordinate these groups - not least indymedia - but luckily this site has a gimmick which might send it on its way!lol This is, afaik, the first site on the web where a forum is provided entirely in old Irish script, the ancient way of writing Irish which was current in printed and manuscript Irish until the 1960s. Details are available here: http://antilisbongroups.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=f...ad=15 , and to clarify if you want to view the site in normal script just register (thats 'clárú') and in your preferences change your skin back to 'default'. It should work on most browsers but Firefox users should download the Gadelica font and install it on their computers first, its available here: http://www.iol.ie/~sob/gadelica/ .

That old script is really remarkable and uniqely historic and worth checking out if you haven't seen it before.
