Hi Carolynne,

Grameenphone and Wikimedia Bangladesh has an event partnership now. Last year we had a series of workshops and events on Bangla Wikipedia through out the country. I guess that is one good reason that Grameenphone subscribes drives the most traffic on Wikipedia Zero.

As far as I know, currently Opera Mini is the only browser on feature phones that can render Bangla scripts via bitmap rendering.

@Tanweer Morshed, can you get that photos? May be from someone from your university who uses a feature phone?

Hello WMBD, we have a favor to ask. Can someone please help us by uploading a couple of screenshots we could use in the WMF metrics meeting this week?

1. bn.wikipedia.org on Opera Mini on a feature phone on Grameenphone with

the Wikipedia Zero banner 2) Opera Mini showing the Wikipedia speed dial (if they still have us on speed dial)

It can just be a photo of the phone, as long as we can see the bangla font.

Grameenphone is the only carrier that drives most pageviews in Bangla. Generally we see pageviews on the English Wikipedia. We want to share the story about how simple promotion can make a big difference.

One other question: are there other feature phone browsers (besides Opera Mini) you can use to read Bangla?

Thank you so much for your help!

Best regards,

Carolynne
