I'm glad you already know about kananda wikipedia. It was started in
full scale by me around september end. Now, we have a good number of
contributors, with me and ashwath doing most of the editing work.
You can write anything that fits into an encyclopedia (vishwakosha).
It might be anything that you are interested in and want people to
know about it (facts, science, culture, saahithya, people... etc)
But there are hardly any contributors on the sanskrit wikipedia. I
would love to see someone who's well versed in sanskrit contributing
there (me studied sanskrit as my first language, but am still far away
from writing my own articles in it).
I'm a sysop and co-maintainer, volunteer at both sanskrit wikipedia
and kannada wikipedia. So, you can get back to me for any kind of
help, assistance that I can give you. There's a list for kannada
wikipedia discussion. See if you can sign up yourself there:
http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikikn-l
Wikipedia is something where anybody can login and edit anything on
it. You can head there right away and practice on sandbox. If at all
you're new to the wiki way of editing, please consult
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page
for any other info, feel free to mail back to me.
cheers,
- h.p.

hi folks,
I might probably be inactive on kn wikipedia for next 20 days, and might
not even get to check the pages. So, please redirect all your queries,
messages to my mail address at hpnadig [at] gmail [dot] com, instead of
my user page. Meanwhile, Ashwath here has been doing a good work with it
recently, and I hope he'll be taking it on until the end of the month.
Also, please donot send mails from addresses other than the one
registered at the mailing list. I might not be there to approve them.
cheers,
- h.p.

ಮಿತ್ರರೇ,
ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯ ೧೫೦ ಲೇಖನಗಳ ಹತ್ತಿರ ಬರುತ್ತಿದೆ! ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾಣಿಕೆಗಳನ್ನಿತ್ತ
ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಅಭಿನ೦ದನೆಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು!
ಹರಿಪ್ರಸಾದ್ ಕಳಿಸಿದ ಅ೦ಕಿ ಅ೦ಶಗಳ ಪುಟ ಬಹಳ ಉಪಯೋಗವಾಯಿತು; ಇತರ ಭಾರತೀಯ ಭಾಷೆಗಳ
ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯ ಮತ್ತು ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯದ ಅ೦ಕಿ ಅ೦ಶಗಳನ್ನು ಹೋಲಿಸಿ ನೋಡಿದಾಗ ಗಮನಕ್ಕೆ
ಬ೦ದ ಅ೦ಕಿ ಅ೦ಶಗಳು:
೧. ಲೇಖನಗಳ ಸ೦ಖ್ಯೆಯ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಿ೦ದ, ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯ ನಾಲ್ಕನೆ ಸ್ಥಾನದಲ್ಲಿದೆ
(ಭಾರತೀಯ ಭಾಷೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ): ಸ೦ಸ್ಕೃತ (೧೦೦೦+), ಹಿ೦ದಿ (೨೦೦+), ತಮಿಳು ಮೊದಲ ಮೂರು
ಸ್ಥಾನಗಳಲ್ಲಿವೆ.
೨. ಒಳ್ಳೆಯ ಸುದ್ದಿಯೆ೦ದರೆ ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಲೇಖನಗಳ ಸ೦ಖ್ಯೆ ಇತರ
ಭಾಷೆಗಳಿಗಿ೦ತ ಬೇಗ ಹೆಚ್ಚುತ್ತಿದೆ.
೩. ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲಕ್ಕಿ೦ತ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಚಿತ್ರಗಳ ಸ೦ಖ್ಯೆಯಿದೆ (ಸುಮಾರು
೧೫೦). ಸರಾಸರಿ ಪ್ರತಿ ಲೇಖನಕ್ಕೆ ಒ೦ದು ಚಿತ್ರ.
೪. ಸಕ್ರಿಯ ಸದಸ್ಯರ ಸ೦ಖ್ಯೆಯ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಿ೦ದ ೨ ನೇ ಸ್ಥಾನದಲ್ಲಿದೆ (ಹಿ೦ದಿ ಮೊದಲ ಸ್ಥಾನ).
೫. ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯ ಮೇಲಿನ ಭಾಷೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕೊನೆಯ ಸ್ಥಾನದಲ್ಲಿರುವುದು ದೈನಿಕ
ವಿಸಿಟ್ ಗಳ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಿ೦ದ. ದಿನಕ್ಕೆ ಸರಾಸರಿ ೭೭ ಭೇಟಿಗಳು (ವಿಸಿಟ್) ಕನ್ನಡ
ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿವೆ..
ಒಟ್ಟಾರೆ ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಸಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಆದಷ್ಟು ಭೇಟಿ ಕೊಡಿ - ನಿಮ್ಮ
ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರನ್ನೂ ಇಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಭೇಟಿ ಕೊಡುವ೦ತೆ ಪ್ರೋತ್ಸಾಹಿಸಿ !!
ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳೊ೦ದಿಗೆ,
ನಿಮ್ಮ ವಿಶ್ವಾಸಿ,
ಅಶ್ವತ್ಥ.
