Sarvavijnanakosam is NOT a new project. Sarvavijnanakosam is the encyclopedia project of Kerala State Institute of Institute of Encyclopaedic Publications and it is published from late 1970's. The license of this encyclopedia is changed to a free license in 2008 and Malayalam Wikipedia reuses content from this expert written encyclopedia.

Kerala Vijanakosam is a new project of Kerala State Institute of Institute of Encyclopaedic Publications and its aim is to provide encyopedic information about all the topics related to Kerala. We can term it as a sub set of Sarvavijanakosam. It is good to have such projects since at a later stage when the license is made free we can reuse the content.:) The web edition of this project is not in wiki format. We are yet to see how content evolves for this new project.

Any way it is nice to have such projects from various organizations, since all of them will finally get integrated to malayalam Wiki projects :)

I heard that this project is budgeted for 1 crore Indian Rupees. 

Wonder if these project people know about Malayalam Wikipedia and it is also powered by Unicode.
