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:

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.

Writing for wikipedia would be great. I've seen
the kannada wikipedia
a couple of times. What articles do you need ?
Also, where are you physically located ?
Best,

hi,
stumbled upon your blog while searching for something ;) I see
that you've been blogging in kannada and sanskrit. How about
participating in kannada and sanskrit wikipedia? It would be very nice
if you could write for those whenever you find time :)
cheers,
