Nitika Vishnu and the whole team
Delighted to hear this.
I am currently in NYC and will be back in India in early December. Will pass the word
around to Konkani speaking friends out if India!
My next goal is working in an offline wiki for school kids in Goa.
Warm regards

Dear All,
Konkani Vishwakosh is now freely available to download on Goa University's website
under Creative Commons License CC-BY-SA 3.0. [1]
As many of you know CIS-A2K has been following up with the University for the past couple
of months to re-relase the encyclopedia under CC. Upon CIS-A2K' explicit request, Goa
University has approved the re-release to make it freely available to public and thus
preserve Konkani language and culture in the digital era.
This is a great achievement for the CIS-A2K Programme and we are extremely thankful to
Dr. Satish Shetye (Vice-Chancellor, Goa University) for seeing the significance of growing
open knowledge movement in Goa and Konkani. Thanks are due to the GU faculty, specifically
Prof. Alito Sequeira; Prof. Madhavi Sardesai; Prof. Priyadarshini Tadkodkar; and Dr.
Gopakumar. A special thanks goes to Wikipedians Harriet Vidyasagar, Frederick Nooronha and
Seby Fernandes for their constant support.
If anyone would like to receive a copy of the Vishwakosh please send us a mail off list
and we'll courier a CD your way.
Thanks
Nitika Tandon
