Hi all,
[Apologies if a similar thing has been proposed earlier, I haven't been able to read
much of the recent discussions.]
I had a thought of channelling readers and editors of English Wikipedia (and similar
projects) to other Indian language wikis based on their IP addresses and the topic being
read. I've put down the proposal
at
http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposal:Funneling_multilingual_readers_… as
it is applicable elsewhere too than just India. Please read and discuss the proposal.
It'll be great if some of us can take the lead and do a pilot with two or three Wikis.
Personally, I'll not be able to commit much time these days, but can support if
somebody takes the lead. I suggest that we can put up a project page (specific to Indian
wikis) at
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Projects:2011-12 if there is enough support.

expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted."
