hi folks,
Wikipedia reached the milestone 200 articles very recently. As
usual, I take it my previlege to inform you all about this. What we need
now is a polishing of the existing articles which in turn requires
involvement and participation from all of you to make sure that this
effort doesn't go down the drains. I urge all of you who've fancied a
knowledgebase in kannada, to come forward, browse, edit and help pace it
up a little more. We also need more readers! ;)
The milestone of 200 should largely be attributed to Ashwath, another
sysop at wikipedia, for he's the one who's single handedly moved it
forward for last one and half months. three cheers to him as you read
this mail :)
- h.p.

Dear KK Dictionary user,
As part of an initiative to get all of you more involved in this
journey that KK is taking, we are excited to let you know that you can
now "submit" your own words by just filling out a simple online form.
It could be a word that is new, a new slang, some pet names or just
about anything that is not offensive to others.
Hey !! no more complaints that you did not find a word in here, please
help us and in turn all by contributing to this endeavor.
Let me remind, that the journey this KK team started 2 years ago was
"not for profit" and continues to remain that way. The exiting piece
at this stage is that YOU can now be a part of this journey. We at KK
believe that this effort will turn out to be a great source of
information and knowledge for all users at all levels.

If a 'religion' is defined to be a system of ideas that contains
unprovable statements, then Gödel taught us that mathematics is not
only a religion, it is the only religion that can prove itself to be
one.
Forwarding this to the kn-wiki list as this has some answers for FAQ
on kannada wikipedia.

I'm glad you already know about kananda wikipedia. It was started in
full scale by me around september end. Now, we have a good number of
contributors, with me and ashwath doing most of the editing work.
You can write anything that fits into an encyclopedia (vishwakosha).
It might be anything that you are interested in and want people to
know about it (facts, science, culture, saahithya, people... etc)
But there are hardly any contributors on the sanskrit wikipedia. I
would love to see someone who's well versed in sanskrit contributing
there (me studied sanskrit as my first language, but am still far away
from writing my own articles in it).
I'm a sysop and co-maintainer, volunteer at both sanskrit wikipedia
and kannada wikipedia. So, you can get back to me for any kind of
help, assistance that I can give you. There's a list for kannada
wikipedia discussion. See if you can sign up yourself there:

Wikipedia is something where anybody can login and edit anything on
it. You can head there right away and practice on sandbox. If at all
you're new to the wiki way of editing, please consult
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page
for any other info, feel free to mail back to me.
cheers,
- h.p.
