Hello everyone,
Here is the proposed social media for the launch of Odia Wikisource. Thanks for reviewing!

Tweaking a bit (also so that "Finally!" won't be misunderstood as a jab at LangCom ...):
Finally! After two years of preparation, Odia Wikisource goes online for over 40 million native speakers https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/21/more-than-40-million-people-await-the-... @OdiaWiki

I would modify "for free" because of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_libre issue. With that, let's use this as double-down tweet:
Mountains of free books for over 40 million people. Odia Wikisource is now online. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/21/more-than-40-million-people-await-the-... @OdiaWiki
t: Wikisource is now available in Odia, an Indic language spoken by over 40 million people! https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/21/more-than-40-million-people-await-the-...
t: Despite more than 40 million native speakers, Odia's online presence has been small; but that's about to change https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/21/more-than-40-million-people-await-the-...

f/g: Odia Wikisource is now available online for everyone. "Books contain the gist of all human knowledge. The ease of access and spread of books are the markers of the intellectual status of a society. And in this e-age Wikisource can be helpful by not just providing easy access to a plethora of books under free licenses but also aiding the spread of basic education in developing economies. Together with Wikisource and cheaper internet this could catalyze a Renaissance of 21st century."
f/g: Despite more than 40 million native speakers in the world, Odia's online presence has been relatively small; but with the launch of Odia Wikisource, that's changing. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/21/more-than-40-million-people-await-the-...
I like this one, although one could cut out "in the world". Also, adding the mention of the group or page:
Despite more than 40 million native speakers, Odia's online presence has been relatively small. But with the launch of Odia Wikisource, that's changing. (Follow OdiaWiki [LINK] for more new about Wikimedia project in this language.)
