Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] A Wikimedia Foundation Fellow from India

Dear all,

As part of the continuing spate of good news, I'd like to congratulate Achal Prabhala for becoming the latest Wikimedia Foundation Fellow.

For those of you who don't know him, Achal is a writer and researcher in Bangalore who has participated as a volunteer in the Wikimedia movement in India and globally for years, and as a member of the Foundation’s advisory board.
Achal will be conducting field research in India and rural South Africa with Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians across three languages to explore ways to compensate for the gap in published/printed sources in many local languages.
More details at http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2011/01/12/new-wikimedia-fellow/

Cheers
Bishakha
