Thank you all for your best wishes. I really appreciate such a good response from the
Indian community.
@Arjuna, we already have a mailing list for Pakistani Wikimedian community so I think
there's no necessity of IRC room as well.
@Rohini, I would like to see your valuable contributions to Wikivoyage.
@Sibi, I liked your idea, currently most of the Wikimedians interested in this user group
are actually based in Karachi so we will more focus on Karachi especially.
@Tejaswini, we already have many Wikimedia projects (in local language such as Urdu,
Punjabi, Sindhi and Pashto.

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.

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 activitiesGrowth
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
