May I suggest that Wikipedians should not succumb to the terms as are being
dictated. Instead, Wikipedians can go to register with
www.wikipedia.org.in
<http://www.wikipedia.org.in/> as RBI has official site with
www.rbi.org.in
<http://www.rbi.org.in/>
Pls check.

He is interested in making wikipedia.in <http://wikipedia.in/> as homepage
for indian language wikipedias.
But his condition is that his name must be there in that page. Is it
possible for us to give the credit on that page ?
I don't think Wikipedians will accept that idea. If that is the case, it is
better to go with the current system.

Hi Shiju,
wikipedia.in is owned by Jitendra Jain. but he has not put up anything.
I guess, finding an indic language wikipedia is difficult from
http://wikipedia.org/ from a users perspective.
Thanks,

I don't think
http://wikipedia.in/ is registered by any one. Kindly verify.
But, do we actullay require this site? What is its purpose? Is it just for
listing link to Indic languages wikis.
NOTE: Some Indic languages like Tamil, Bengali, and Urdu are the official
languages in more than one country.

Casey, Please correct me if I am wrong.
From what Mike told me, it depends on how India works
with foreign
trademarks, domain names, etc. It's hard for the Foundation to
get
involved until there's some kind of organization or chapter setup in
India. It gets a lot more complex if the Foundation has to come in,
which is why it's best to work informally with the registrar/owners
first.
Maybe you guys could try asking InRegistrar about this and see how far
that goes? Maybe they already have a process setup for this.
