Hi,
Sorry for the potential muting of some responses with remarks about email
etiquette as post script on my post. I am glad to see some responses. Please
feel free to share suggestions, ideas, questions on how Chapter can help
realize the collective dreams of Wikipedians through the mailing lists as
well as wikimedia.in website.
Cheers
Arjuna Rao Chavala
