Dear Wikipedians outside India,
I'm writing this specifically to reach out to NRIs / PIOs / Indic
language wikipedians outside India who might be on this mailing list.
It would be a great idea if we could encourage meet-ups and maybe even
outreach sessions in the many cities where we have existing Indian
wikipedians. We currently don't have a comprehensive list and I'm
sharing this that was started a few months ago and a request to update
it http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Geographical_distribution_of_Indian_Wikipedians
It will help you folks to know about other Wikipedians in your cities
and you can form Wiki-communities. We find this problem so much in India
where sometimes Wikipedians live on the same street but don't know each
other. I can imagine that it will be very similar abroad also.
Many thanks
Tinu Cherian
