Kartik Mistry, who was formerly associated with Gujarati Lexicon,<br>
informed me that he had met the representatives of Wikimedia India at<br>
the last Mumbai meetup and expressed that his former associates would<br>
be interested in transferring content to the Gujarati Wiktionary.<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes - Kartik had then suggested that Wikimedia India meet with Ratilal Chandaria of <a href="http://www.gujaratilexicon.com/" target="_blank">http://www.gujaratilexicon.com/</a> who is based in Mumbai to discuss this further.<br>
<br>Also, discussed possible next steps to advocate with the Maharashtra and Karnataka governments about digitizing the 19-volume Marathi vishwakosh or encyclopedia and the Kannada encyclopedia under open licences. (Hari talked about efforts that have been taken so far with the Kannada encyclopedia.)<br>
<br>In this context, am also forwarding to the list a voluminous email from the Observer Research Foundation, which is interested in collaborating on boosting Marathi wikipedia.<br><br>Bishakha<br><br><br></div></div>
