Refill is a tool that quickly allows to fill bare URL.
I find this tool very useful (this has bookmarklet and gadget option) I
talked to the tool creator, and they have started working to include
Bengali and a couple of other languages
Can you check it and do the needful translations?

ঠিকানাতেও মেইল দেওয়া বন্ধ করা হোক। এই প্রবণতাটা ঠিক নয়। ব্যক্তিগত ইমেইল
ঠিকানাতেও মেইল দেওয়া হচ্ছে এই ভেবে যে শুধু মেলিং লিস্টে মেইল করলে সবাই
মেইলটা নাও পেতে পারে। এটা একটা ভ্রান্ত ধারনা । মেইলিং লিস্টে মেইল দিলে সব
সদস্য পাবেন, যদি না তিনি তার মেইল বক্সে ব্লক বা অন্য কোনও সেটিং করে থাকেন,
আর কেউ না পেলে সেটা তার ব্যক্তিগত সমস্যা। মেইলিং লিস্টে মেইল দিলে দয়া করে
এই ভাবে সবাইকে CC তে রাখা থেকে বিরত থাকুন, এটি মেইলিং লিস্ট ভদ্রতারও বিঘ্ন

Dear friends,
We are happy to share the newsletter for July. This includes updates from the work we are associated with, and updates about the Rio Olympics edit-a-thon that is being organised by our friends from Wikimedia India.
Open source effort gives indigenous language an official typeface
Santali, an aboriginal South Asian language, has a brand new freely licensed font and set of cross-platform open source input tools on the way. The typeface family was designed by type designer Pooja Saxena (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Anexasajoop) and went through several rounds of review by language experts. However, the typeface (https://github.com/anexasajoop/olchiki-fontfamily) is still one step away from reality. Because of this, two input methods (https://github.com/GuruGomke/ol-chiki) will be made available along with the typeface; Sarjom Baha (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/Inp…) , a phonetic input method so that every common user can easily type the they pronounce the words, and InScript (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ol_Chiki_InScript_keyboard_layout.s…) , a keyboard layout standard for Indian scripts. Even though the original plan was to create a editor community to contribute to
the Santali Wikipedia (https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/sat/Main_Page) and bring it live from Incubator, outputs will just be distributed for the users to use them.
Update: The input methods (https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.ime/tree/master/rules/sat) are now up on all the Wikimedia projects as part of the Universal Language Selector (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector) .
. . . Check the blog (http://cis-india.org/a2k/blogs/opensource.com-subhashish-panigrahi-july-8-2…) and the project page for more details of the Ol chiki project.

*Featured Wikimedian of the month*
*Featured Wikimedian for July*
Raju Suthar is one of the most active Wikipedians on the Hindi Wikipedia.
He started editing in January 2015 & with help from senior Hindi
wikipedians, within 2 months he reached an edit count of 3,000.Currently he
has an edit count of 6,500+ with almost 750 articles created to his name.
The real story behind this truly inspiring Wikipedian lies in his humble
background. Rarely having any access to a laptop, almost all of his edits
have been done through a mobile phone ([
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_s5610-4191.php Samsung Galaxy S5610]).
Editing on his phone whenever he gets time,raju while sharing his
experience has confessed that editing through a mobile phone was very
difficult, due to which he regrets that the contributions which he has made
to Wikipedia is not enough and wants to do more for the community & his
language. With Hindi having one of the lowest Editors per million speakers,
Raju says that Hindi Wikipedia is not growing as fast as some of the other
Indic Languages, due to which his primary aim is to see that the community
grows to its full Potential. He likes writing articles on Topics related to
Cricket, his home state of Rajasthan & its history.
