I am happy to share a tiny web application to help people get started with
using Indian languages on Computers in public places, using wiki sites.

So I was attempting to write a 2000 word piece on the history of
Wikipedia in India. Any pointers you have will be most appreciated -
historical stuff too.
Sundar pointed me to this:
http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tamil_Wikipedia:_A_Case_Study
What would be helpful is some sort of chronology on the history of of
Indic language Wikipedias and Indian involvement with Wikimedia
projects.
Thank you.
Best,
Gautam

Do you think the website violates Wikipedia / WMF copyrights ? The site has
nothing to do with Wikipedia or its cause too.
Just bringing into the attention of all.
Now that Mike is away, who is the next in charge for legal affairs ?

Hi all,
this is just to update you all on an upcoming visit to India by Danese
Cooper, Alolita Sharma, and myself. Danese is our Chief Technical
Officer, and Alolita program-manages the features development team.
I'm the Deputy Director and also responsible for our product strategy.
The purpose of our visit is fact-finding and outreach to India's
engineering and open source community. The key questions we're hoping
to explore include: localization issues concerning Indic languages,
other MediaWiki improvements that would make our sites more useful in
India, improvements to our mobile gateway, potential partners in
developing and deploying offline versions of Wikimedia content.
We will, of course, also seek to meet with Wikimedians in the
different cities we're visiting, including the chapter.
We have a very packed schedule of community meetups, presentations,
and one-on-ones, but don't hesitate to let us know about people we
should meet. Our itinerary is currently as follows:
Arrival in Delhi 12/6
Mumbai 12/9
Pune 12/12
Bangalore 12/14
Hope to see some of you in December :-)
All best,
Erik

hi,
Wikipedia now has a brand new page for its 10th anniversary celebrations:
http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
and also has a new mailing list for the same -
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikix-l
You'll have to create a login to access the wiki.
I have posted a note on the Wikiproject Mumbai today pointing to both
Wikimedia X anniversary celebration as well as the Wikimedia Mumbai mailing
list.
warm regards,

Times of India : " If Wikipedia is to be believed .."
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/sunday-toi/book-mark/Cyber-galaxies…
Interesting thought... So how many of you think that Media houses believe
Wikipedia ? We have seen lots of news articles "copied" from Wikipedia
without attribution :)

20 are in incubation . Thanks to Shiju Alex , who recently enlightened me
with this fact ..
