Hi Everyone, 

I am working for the WIkimedia Foundation for this year's fundraiser. The Foundation wants to dedicate part of the resources from the fundraising campaign to seek non-financial contributions from our readers. We are working on something for the Indian language projects in particular, in line with the five year plan and the priority of Indian Wikis.

The essence of the contribute campaign is not only to drive up participation on the projects but also to get our readers to make their very first edit on Wikipedia.

I have been tasked as part of the fundraising team to support local indian languages; we have already posted to all relevant Wikipedia VPs seeking participation and informing them of this year's fundraiser.

We want to work with the community members and provide any support that we can, I have briefly discussed with Srikanth about supporting the next Wiki-marathon. If anyone has any ideas, projects that would be conducive to our common goal, Please feel free to share them.


Regards
