Hello friends,
This is a link I recommend you to bookmark.
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Geographical_distribution_of_Indian_Wikipedians
This list is useful for outreach & also whenever someone needs Wiki-Help in
a particular city. It would be great if Wikipedians could update this
list.:)
We have the following completely unrepresented states/UTs:
* Andaman & Nicobar Islands
* Arunachal Pradesh
* Assam
* Chandigarh
* Chhattisgarh
* Dadra, Nagar & Haveli
* Daman & Diu
* Goa
* Himachal Pradesh
* Jammu & Kashmir
* Jharkhand (AngPradesh is in Mumbai)
* Lakshadweep
* Manipur
* Meghalaya
* Mizoram
* Puducherry
* Punjab (oye, ye ki hoya!)
* Nagaland
* Uttar Pradesh
* Uttarakhand
Okay, all you admins, please update your status (Mikey my boy, that means
you too)!
Abroad, we dont have Indic Wikipedians listed for:
* Africa
* Australia
* Asia (other than India)
* Middle East
* North America
* South America
Unless you would like to stay off list, of course that's acceptable too.
May I also request Tinu / list admins to please forward it all the Indic
language & city Wikimedia lists. We need this resource to be as
comprehensible as possible.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Dear friends,
You may be aware that we (my family) have released a font family earlier.
Here is some background if you are not aware of it.
On the first death Anniversary of Yogini Joglekar(my aunt), our family
released AksharYogini (Normal) Font on 1st Nov. 2006. This font is
primarily for Marathi language but can also be used for Hindi (for any
language using Devanagari). It also has English support. Later on, on the
occasion of Gudhipadwa (Chaitra Shuddha 1, 1931; that is 27th March 2009) ,
we released the additional fonts to complete the "AksharYogini font
family". This font family was/is made available on the site
http://aksharyogini.sudhanwa.com for free usage/distribution/sharing.
Today, on the occasion of Eighth Death Anniversary of Yogini Joglekar, we
are now releasing an updated "AksharYogini font". This font is also
available on the same website http://aksharyogini.sudhanwa.com
This is an updated font and has support for the new (MS Windows) operating
systems where the internal mechanism for font rendering is changed. Also,
it has additional characters for the current Unicode standard and the Rupee
Sign is also included.
Most important is the licensing. The new release is under the Open Font
License. As such, all Linux distributions will be able to freely use it in
their packaging.
Please feel free to use, share, distribute the new font. You can download
it from http://aksharyogini.sudhanwa.com .
Give us feedback on my email id or the official id for the font "
aksharyogini at sudhanwa.com " You can also comment on the guestbook on the
website.
Do share this news and also the font.
Wishing you a Very Happy Diwali !!
Thanks and regards
-Sudhanwa

Dear Vishnu,
this is in continuation to our telecon regarding i am not able to get my
name registered in Wikimedia India list hence writing this email to you.
Gujarati Wikisource has achieved yet another milestone on its second
birthday (29.03.2014) completed uploading full 50 books which has come
in public domain.
The collection of these 50 books includes well known Gujarati literary
creations in the form of Autobiography, Novels, Plays, Collection of
Poems, Essays, Moral Stories etc. This includes works of prominent
writers such as Mahatma Gandhi, Zaverchand Meghani, Kavi Nhanalal,
Surasinhji Gohil, Educationist Gijubhai Badheka, Kavi Dalapatram,
Ramanlal Nilkanth etc.
This feat was achieved in 2 years time.
As OCR is not available, volunteers of Gujarati wiki Community have
typed this books. The community proceeds in a planned manner. A book is
selected and its announcement is made at common platform on source.
Volunteer interested joins the project. Chapters are distributed among
the particants and proof reading is done. Once completed, another book
is undertaken.
Kindly inform this on Indian Community List
Regards
Sushant

Hello,
There is a discussion on Commons about the copyright law of India,
precisely whether pictures taken prior 1957 should apply the new law
or the old law. I believe it is the later, but Carl Lindberg, says
there is a uncertainty.
Could WM India ask a lawyer for a confirmation.
