Congrats to Odia wiki community. <br><br>From a wiki with almost no activism during 2011 March, now Odia wiki community is grown as one of the most vibrant wiki communities of India. Really appreciate the efforts and pain took by few native language speakers like Subhashih, Srikanth, Ashusthosh, Samvidhan Mohanty, and few others. The support received from Professor Dhanada Mishra during the initial stages also require special mention.<br>
<br>Looking forward to hear more inspiring news from Odia community.<br><br>Shiju<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
