Hoi, We have been paying out to people who helped us all out by localising MediaWiki. Many of the messages including Hindi are much better supported in this language package as a result of the work done in the month and a half since the release of MediaWiki 1.12.
Several other language that did not qualify started to update their localisations in the same period, Manx and Sicilian to name only two.
What is important to realise about the "bounty" project is that we want to have all our supported languages properly localised. The initial work takes a lot of effort but once the localisation is done, it is not that hard to keep up with the work. The best localisers are the people who care for their Wikipedia; they understand what it is that they are doing.
With better support for MediaWiki through language packs (currently only MediaWiki core), we make it more interesting for other organisations to adopt MediaWiki. Because of our success in localising extensions, all extensions, we aim to stimulate the cooperation on the development and maintenance of extensions as well. Thanks, GerardM

Hi Gerard,
good to hear this. Just as a matter of curiosity, what is the current status of the bounties you told about earlier on? Have any been given out yet? Did they help to get this pack as far as it is?
Best regards,
Lodewijk

Hoi, For the MediaWiki 1.12 stable release, Betawiki has issued a language pack. This language pack includes all the localisations that were added after the release of MediaWiki 1.12. Several languages have been substantially improved in the month and a half since the original release of MediaWiki 1.12. We now have 6.9% more messages ...
The language pack is for the moment available herehttp://translatewiki.net/mediawiki/. We are looking how we can support your language better and make the best MediaWiki localisation available in an optimal way.
As always, you are welcome to help support your language by localising
at
Betawiki.
