Thanks largely to Manohar, Wikisource Kannada is now a very active project and recently got its own domain, too.
Visit the project and contribute, take part. Don't let the initial Main page template scare you. It is still in the making at the Draft page (http://kn.wikisource.org/wiki/Main_page/draft). You too can pitch in and add to the design and structure. Hope to see a vibrant community building up on Kannada Wikisource as well.
And yeah, Kannada Wikipedia crossed another milestone with the 2,500th article created on "Jalianwala bagh massacre". Thanks largely to the non-stop editing by Sunaath, Triveni Rao, Manohar, Veena, Narayan, Naveen and Narasimha, we've reached the milestone while not compromising with the quality of the articles.
Thanks to Jon Harald Søby for shifting all the pages to the new place, Gangleri (Reinhardt Wiewe) for taking so much interest in various localization stuff and for pushing across the namespace changes.
Thanks to everyone who pitched in with all types of contributions. Each and every contribution is important and significant for the community. Hope to see more contributions from all of you. :)

This is great news ! Thanks also to you, HP.
I have been a dormant member now, but itching to become active soon.

Thanks to all the contributors for this achievement and congratulations to one and all, for being part of this milestone of Kannada Wikipedia. Also, Kannada Wikipedia is now one of the fastest growing Wikipedias among all the Indian language wikipedias, both in terms of quantity and quality.
Special thanks to HP Nadig, who has been consistently active since the origin of this community work for Kannada.
Kannada Wikisource http://kn.wikisource.org/ now has its own identity by having a separate domain name dedicated to Kannada. Thanks to everyone who provided their support for domain request in this page: http://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Language_domain_requests/archive3http://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Language_domain_requests/archive3#kn.wikisource.org_.28Kannada_-_.E0.B2.95.E0.B2.A8.E0.B3.8D.E0.B2.A8.E0.B2.A1.29

Very heartening to know .
Just an ignoramus doubt. How is wikisource different from Wikipeadia ? Are we supposed to put there, all the origianl creative works of Kannada and other people, whcih can be used as source by others later ? What about copyrights of these origianl works?
I would be happy to get enlightened .

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.
Wikisource is a garner of free content - texts, which in Kannada context could be Vachanas, Dasara Pada, Kumaravyasa bhaarata and almost all the old texts and copyleft sources.
See http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/WS:WWI for a detailed document on what should be included in Wikisource and what shouldn't be included.
Feel free to write back if you have any doubts.
Cheers,
