If you are doing anything about including local languages in Wikipedia I
would be very happy to share whatever plans are being made in India.
Regards and best wishes,

Dear Indian Wikimedians,
Although Wikimedia chapter for Pakistan is still in the discussion phase,
we've working on creating of an official Wikimedia User Group, since the
numbers of our community members at the moment are not sufficient for the
creation of a chapter.
The main objective of this user group will be to act as a voice and
representative for the Pakistani Wikimedian community and to promote
Wikipedia and various Pakistani language Wikimedia Foundation projects
throughout Pakistan and further strengthen the community.
The initial goals our user group will be:
- Organise regular meetings and meetups in major cities of Pakistan
for discussions etc and planning of a Wikipedia workshop and Wikipedia
Takes The City photo contest in 2014
- To empower and engage Pakistani Wikimedians in both on-wiki and
off-wiki activities
- Growth of the Wikimedian community in Pakistan
- Creation of Wikimedia Pakistan chapter in the long run
Some ideas and suggestions from Indian chapter members will be welcomed
and highly appreciated.
regards
Saqib
