A superb effort - curious about the media controversy in Kerala and how that undermined this?<br>Bishakha<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 12:01 PM, CherianTinu Abraham <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tinucherian@gmail.com">tinucherian@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">The efforts behind the Malayalam offline Wikipedia CD is really appreciable. It required a hardwork of 20+ Wikipedians for more than 2-3 months to make it a success. They also faced several technical / software hurdles which they successfully overcame later. Atleast 2 other Indian languages are now re-using this software to make their Wikipedia CDs..<br>
<br>But unfortunately media in Kerala state created a silly controversy about it and thereby undermining the efforts of these self-less people. Glad to know that atleast the rest of the world recognizes the true value of their efforts. <br>
