I already shared the summary of the discussions I had with with the <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_Languages/Assamese/Discussions/2011">Assamese</a> and <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_Languages/Hindi/Discussions/2011">Hindi</a> wikimedians. </div>

The amount of activism is Sanskrit wikisource is also very high. I am sure Sanskrit wiki community is the one wiki community that is going to utilize all the sister projects at its fullest. </font></div>

Today I attended a Sanskrit wiki workshop in a Sanskrit institution at New Dellhi. In Delhi itself Sanskrit wikipedians are planning many other Sanskrit wiki activities. With so many volunteers involved in the projects I am sure Sanskrit is going to make good progress.</font></div>
