Thanks Asaf,

Can we get back to you in three weeks time?. By then we would be finished with the datamining / statistics and the judging process and will be able to provide a complete picture for the blogpost. We will be submitting a full report with statistics and prize winner data for the grant process. So it would be easy for us work on the blogpost after we have all the data for report on hand.

regards
Bala

These are fantastic news!  A tremendous contribution to our mission, fueled by volunteer passion!

I applaud the Tamil community.

We at the Foundation would love to work with the organizers on showcasing this in a post on the Wikimedia Blog; I realize your hands are full right now, but we can start discussing this (e-mail me) and preparing for a blog post to follow the announcement of the winners.

Cheers,

   Asaf

This is by far the greatest success in numbers we have achieved and shows what is possible. What is NOT apparent is the humungous work needed to carry out the Project. My earnest congratulations to all the participants and wishing this contest has a smooth, hassle-free, happy closure.

Warm regards,

Ashwin Baindur

Many congratulations to the Tamil Community for the resounding success of this contest (as I understand the contributions are 5x the initial target and contributors are 3x the initial target).

Sodabottle, Logic and team have worked really hard to pull this off, hats off to them!

The fact that 300 volunteers participated in this contest in really an exciting news. Hope the contest helped to attract many Tamil speakers to Tamil Wiki projects.

 Hello All,

The contest is now closed. A total of 15217[1] (5 times our expectation[2]) files were uploaded by around 300 contributors. We are planning to announce the results by March 25th (Yes, selecting 9 prizes out of 15,000 entries is slightly tough task). A detailed report / statistics will be available soon. Thanks for your support.
