Hi, while I wasn't party to the original conversation, I do have my doubts about this project and its scope in India. We have 20 officially recognised languages in our country. Each. Language has an associated culture with it with is unique. Could be quite a headache.

I was going to suggest something even more modest and have one article per country/language/wiki. If we can do that minimum successfully then next time we can aim for a higher goal.

Hi,
On the list archives -- OK, though honestly I'm not sure whether I'm prepared to plow through all the archives.
On the cultural exchange programme -- 20 articles per country seems really ambitious, especially if the point was to have some tangible results within three months. I mean, let's say only China, South Korea and the Philippines nominate 20 articles each. That means our friend from Israel who offered to translate these articles for the Hebrew Wikipedia will have 60 articles to translate. I would suggest about two to three articles for a start, and no more than five per country. Finish these first, and then nominate some more.
