Vibhi,<br>As far as I know, the Chapter, is registered in K&#39;taka and as per K&#39;taka rules you need to be above 18 to be a part of it. I&#39;m pretty sure this age rule is commons throughout the country. If it is, even if you do get a chapter, you&#39;ll have to wait 5 years to be a member.<br>
You&#39;re13. The same age, I was when I joined Wikipedia.<br>I suggest you concentrate on your edits.<br>I see you have good language skills, why don&#39;t you focus on local wikiprojects?<br>Or help me translate Huggle to Hindi or Samskrit? <br>
Have a look: <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Localization">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Localization</a><br><br>Arun, Naveen, and I had held a Samskrit academy last year in Bangalore.<br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Academy/India/2010/Bangalore1">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Academy/India/2010/Bangalore1</a><br>
The people who attended it are still active on Samskrit Wikipedia. Get in touch with Arun or me, we can plug you into their Google Group.<br><br>Are you interested in Photography?<br>Or editing images? Maps perhaps?<br>Get in touch with PlaneMad, Logicwiki, SBC-YPR, naveenpf or me, we can collectively contribute to the Commons.<br>
<br>If you are interested in bird watching, I&#39;m pretty sure User:Shyamal will be more than happy to help you identify  birds and upload pictures.<br><br>Or are you into coding?<br>Get in touch with Logicwiki, Tinucherian or Yuvipanda.<br>
I&#39;m pretty sure you can improve your edits and contributions thru these channels.<br><br>My best wishes to you.<br><br>--Regards,<br>SR.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 6 June 2011 13:02, Bishakha Datta <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:bishakhadatta@gmail.com">bishakhadatta@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

Just to point out, our community was going super strong in the first half of 2009, before our first meetup at Tinu Cherian&#39;s house in July 2009. We were colaborating, discussing and working together, on Wikipedia itself. Without the mailing list, knowing each other, offline, on Facebook or Twitter ... <br>



Ask anyone in the Banglore community, purely by using Users talk pages we got several GA and FA level articles. Gdibyendu, SBC-YPR, me and Logicwiki got Transport in India elevated to GA, without knowing each other offline.<br>
