Why are we discussing it on different threads and
not doing it then! :)
Let's have a press team and let's have a newsletter for the internal
communication purpose!

I would like to stress again that what we need
first is to interconnect
ourselves.
We, at various Indic Wikipedias, are still working very much on our own
home islands!
Images, references, PR personnel, media - Among various Indic Wikipedias,
we have a lot that can be shared together.
Beyond the singular difference of native language, our needs, ends and
means are mostly same.
[Not to mention that (in.en.wiki*) is automatically a subset of
(in.wiki*)]
So,
let us think aloud how to interconnect ourselves more systematically and
collectively.
Though many may have reservations in using social networking as a tool,
we
at Malayalam Wikipedia have been using Facebook, Blogs, Google Buzz/Plus/
Docs/Maps/Calendar etc. somewhat effectively to improve and accelerate
content and quality of ml.wiki*.
(As an example, see this spreadsheet (Geodesic Coords for
ml.wikipedia)<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl=en…mp;output=html>,
It has been just created today as an upcoming collaboration tool for
GeoTagging our articles in a massive way. We envisage that the same data
can be later shared with other Wikipedias in some automated way. If only
we
had a larger national network, we could achieve this much faster and
wider!!!!!!)
*What if we setup some similar acts for Inter-Indic Wiki friendship
circles (Where every in.wiki user can join and share their problems,
solutions and ideas)?*

Interestingly this was what you and I spoke about
over the phone
today. I think this should be of the highest priority. If the chapter
and foundation are unable to focus on this it becomes the
responsibility of the community aka us, to take forward such an
initiative. We shall talk more on this soon Pradeep. What you have
said could very well accelerate the growth of the movement in India,
organically.
