I couldn't find your notice at the Tamil Wiki VP, Salmaan.
Did I miss it during the holidays?

the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted."

Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] 2010 Fundraiser - Contribute Campaign
Hi Everyone,
I am working for the WIkimedia Foundation for this year's fundraiser. The
Foundation wants to dedicate part of the resources from the fundraising campaign
to seek non-financial contributions from our readers. We are working on
something for the Indian language projects in particular, in line with the five
year plan and the priority of Indian Wikis.
The essence of the contribute campaign is not only to drive up participation on
the projects but also to get our readers to make their
very first edit on
Wikipedia.
I have been tasked as part of the fundraising team to support local indian
languages; we have already posted to all relevant Wikipedia VPs seeking
participation and informing them of this year's fundraiser.
We want to work with the community members and provide any support that we can,
I have briefly discussed with Srikanth about supporting
the next Wiki-marathon.
If anyone has any ideas, projects that would be
conducive to our common goal,
Please feel free to share them.
Regards
