Hi Srikanth,

//Why only Hindi and Marathi?
Why not Tamil, Telugu, Bengali and Sanskrit?//

What Asaf meant to say was that they are trying their best to invite the right people from communities who didn't make official community nominations. Marathi and Hindi were given only as examples by him. I am sure WMF will invite people from all across the Indian communities. He has already assured to look into the English Wikipedia community in India.

Asaf has already made clear that he will honour all official community nominations.

Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Gujarati communities have made official nominations through their village pumps and I hope WMF will try their best to accommodate as many of these members with logistics being the only limitation.

If some community has not made official nominations to make things easier we need to assume collective responsibility for that.

Irrespective of who is participating, we need to come up with an agenda and direction for the event by registering our thoughts at

I will also be sending out requests in all indian language village pumps soon to share an official communication giving inputs for this event.

Thanks,

Ravi
