and, perhaps this also goes out to the listadmins of the -pune and
-westbengal lists. Will you consider a request to ensure that these
lists are available via gmane.org as well ? It allows one to use a
conventional newreader to go through the lists.

Hi all,
Wikimedia would be a starting new project "WikiData". Details here[1] . I am
particularly excited about how the interwiki data and "API" is made
available and hope it would be immense use to all Indic languages, many
possibilities of mashups, data extractions might be easier with the
infrastructure. Sundar's idea to target Indic users using interwiki
metadata, apps like interwikiredirector[2], can benefit significantly out of
this. We shall look forward to hear more details on the project and wish all
the success both technically, community wise.

Dear Indian Wikimedians, and those from near Pune in particular,
In November the complete localisation team of the Wikimedia Foundation
(I, Niklas, Amir, Gerard, Santhosh and Alolita) will be in India for
the Wiki Conference India, the Mumbai hackathon and a team meeting.
Our schedule allows for an event in Pune on Saturday 26 November 2011,
if the Pune community thinks this is a good idea. We would like it to
be a localisation sprint, in which we gather as many people as
possible from the Wikimedia community, but maybe also from other open
source translation communities, to work on the translation of
MediaWiki and MediaWiki extensions used by Wikimedia for a few hours,
and have some nice chats while doing that.
We would of course need a venue with a decent internet connection,
enough power, and participants would need to bring equipment that
allows for them to work online in translatewiki.net or offline with a
gettext editor.
Is this something that is doable?

"What are the Seven Wonders of the Post-Modern World?
.......
Here is a revised list:
*1. Wikipedia:* The sum of all human knowledge. This is only a starting
point to our greater quest in constructing the hitchhiker's guide to the
galaxy, or the Encyclopedia Galactica. One of the great and rare examples of
collaboration in the violent history of our specie. Thanks to the
information organised there, the industrial complex of schools is being
threatened by universal access and autodidactism. For instance, this article
has been largely sourced from Wikipedia."
