[OT] Request to the list administrators
by sankarshan 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

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. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog>

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikipedia in TN text books

Thanks for the heads up Srikanth and Bala. The website is a bit buggy on my system. Since I have physical access to the Samacheer textbooks, I shall have a look and post a full page *review* of it. I'll keep you both and Sundar updated on the matter. I believe there is a lot of scope for improvement, which we can suggest. As for the who reads Further Reading matter, I do. The textbook has always been my mortal enemy, hence I always stuck to the further reading sections. --Re, Srikanth R, Coimbatore. -- Sent from my mobile device Regards, ME.

30 Sep '11

cross-posting to reach pan-India; apologies if you have got it from other mailing lists. Dear All As I had mentioned in a previous posting (and as was so touchingly welcomed by so many of of you), Shiju Alex is joining us to lead our Indic Languages initiatives. In this mail (http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-July/003845.html), I had indicated that he would join around September-October. I'm really pleased to inform you that he has now joined India Programs (on September 24th.) Indic Languages is an important priority for us - and Shiju intends to start work on this urgently. He'll be in touch shortly on this matter. Welcome aboard, Shiju! Warmest Regards, hisham

or.wiktionary.org
by Gerard Meijssen 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Hoi, I am really pleased to inform you that the Oriya Wiktionary is the first project ever to be officially re-enabled for editing. The Oriya community is working really hard to make their projects a success. They are noticing that the usability is improving as a consequence of the obligatory localisation that they have to do. Once they are done, the language committee will assess if a Wikiquote can be created as well. The exception that was made to open up the Oriya Wiktionary was given because there is a Wikimeet in the near future and we do want to give their community more of a reason to be happy with their hard work. Thanks, GerardM
