Hello Wikimedians,<br><br>After we (<a href="http://www.mlwiki.in/" target="_blank">Malayalam 
Wikimedia  Community</a>) released  the <a href="http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.com/2010/04/best-of-malayalam-wikipedia.html" target="_blank">Malayalam Wikipedia CD, Version 1.0</a>, many wikimedians have asked me about the efforts and processes that 
 went behind  the creation of the first Indian language wikipedia on CD.
 Here is my reply for that.<br><br>Since the reply is long and has many hyperlinks I have published it as blogpost. You can read the blog post here. <a href="http://shijualex.wordpress.com/2010/04/24/creating-malayalam-wikipedia-cd/">http://shijualex.wordpress.com/2010/04/24/creating-malayalam-wikipedia-cd/</a><br>

This is the kind of project that deserves more attention. Certainly when you blog in English, there is no reason why it should not be read by more of the Wikimedia community.<br>
