Shiju,<br><br>How are you going to host the newsletter. Are you going to link it to WIkipedia India project or will it be on meta? I suggest providing a simple wiki interface as well as pdf version.<br><br>Regards<br>Arjun<br>

</blockquote><br><br></div>Sure. The aim is to share the community news of the various Indian Language Wiki communities. As you can see from the PDF that I shared with you, several languages already provided the community News. So requesting Kannada wiki community also to be part of this. <br>
<br>It is the community newsletter. So I think it is better to name it as <b>WikiMedia India Community</b> News Letter. I will change like that. <br><br>Once the chapter is formed, chapter can think about taking this forward from the next version of the News letter.<div class="im">

Inkscape pros from the community could help? :)<br></blockquote><br><br></div>Typesetting is done using Open Office writer. It is still going on. I have enabled <i><b>Commenting using Adobe Reader </b></i>feature in the PDF that I sent to you. That might be the reason why it is crashed. I will send you a normal PDF soon. <br>
