Dear friends, Our colleague User:Khalid Mahmood, the most prolific contributor to the Western Punjabi Wikipedia[1], has died earlier this month, after long illness. Khalid was an educator from Pakistan who was passionate about creating and sharing free knowledge. He had great plans for promoting the mission in Pakistan. He has made more than 67 thousand edits across the projects. He attended Wikimania 2012 and 2014, where some of us met him. If you wish to leave condolences or share memories of Khalid, I suggest his talk page on Meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Khalid_Mahmood#Condolences_and_re… Yours, Asaf [1] Western Punjabi [used in Pakistan] and Eastern Punjabi [used in India] are practically the same language, but Western is written in the Perso-Arabic Shahmukhi script, whereas Eastern is written in the Gurmukhi script.) -- Asaf Bartov Wikimedia Foundation <http://www.wikimediafoundation.org> Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
