I request all the current committee members to *at least create a user page*in MetaWiki ( http://meta.wikimedia.org). If you could mention your home wiki and your contributions to WikiMedia foundation wiki projects (both inside and *outside wiki*) there, that will enlighten many of us.

I am very happy and proud to hear that we got a wikimedia indic chapter.
But I wonder why all these activities taken so hidden? We are a community (or a community of communities), we've an active mailing list, but I didn't hear anything about such an active effort (may be i missed). Is there any separate communication medium? Or is this a special chapter for wikimedia English projects?
I recently learned someone as wikimedia indic chapter director from linkedin (http://in.linkedin.com/in/kiruba). He is also being CEO, Founder, Co-Founder, Director of many other initiatives (Actually I don't have any problem about that). I am thinking about that election process and members. I am sorry but frankly I don't know any of other guys also. If possible introduce them, and their home wiki. I wish, an informed community about any further steps.
If someone can clarify my thoughts originated from poor knowledge, I'll be more happy.

Dear all,
As Srikanth has already noticed in an earlier e-mail, the draft Memoranda of Association for the proposed Wikimedia India Chapter has been put up on Meta here:http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_India/MoA
Even as the team working on the current draft has spent the better part of a year working on it, I am sure that there would be scope for improvement. Please provide your invaluable comments and suggestions on the relevant talk page:http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_India/MoA.
However, given the time we have spent on the document, it is important that we proceed quickly and hence, I suggest that the comments be made on or before this Saturday, the 13th of March 2010. Let us maintain the Wiki-etiquette expected out of us during the discussion.
People curious about the earlier and the current efforts at forming the India chapter may find my blog post on it,http://hpnadig.net/blog/2010/03/08/wikimedia-india/563 a complimenting read. More on Wikimedia India chapter can be seen onhttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_India.
Let us look forward to a great response in discussing and debating the MoA of the proposed Wikimedia India chapter. -- Hari Prasad Nadighttp://hpnadig.net | http://twitter.com/hpnadighttp://flickr.com/hpnadig
