Ermm, Theo, my Google Mail shows them up as separate. Infact any mail service or client would. The title thread itself is different. I don't want to derail the topic. Nice work Shiju, but why did you speak only to one person? Lack of participants? Noone willing to talk to you?

Can you change your subject-line to be a bit different? I count the last 11 emails from you with having identical subject-line followed by the one word mention of which language is actually is.

It is really hard to distinguish which discussions are new or old. Since the first subject line is so long and identical "Sharing insights......." in the last dozen emails, gmail does not display the which language it actually is. One would have to open the email to see what language its actually about.

Dear All,

As part of my discussions with Indic language Wikipedians I spoke with Dhaval Vyas from Gujarati wikipedia. Dhaval has shared his editing experiences, his vision about Gujarati wiki projects, and other related topics. I have summarized the discussion in meta wiki. It is available here:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_L...

Gujarati wikipedia has more than 21,000 articles now. Gujarati wiki community is slowly making its presence among Indic wiki communities. Though the current community strength is small (15 active users), veteran users like Dhaval have started conducting various outreach programs to spread the message about Gujarati wiki among Gujarati speakers. Community is working on to enable Narayam in Gujarati wikipedia and soon community will have their own mailing list also. Hope all these efforts will bring in more active users to Gujarati wikipedia.

Kindly read the experience of Dhaval at:

A small suggestion:

if you can keep the subject line as: * Hindi: Sharing insights...* * * format then from the first word gives idea about the language.

Best Subha

Actually no. I didn't say they don't show up as different, I said the subject-line or "title" in your description is nearly identical, discussions are hard to separate and recognize, especially when there are 12 emails with nearly identical title. The actual mention of the language is not in the first 70 characters, so they end up looking identical.

Have a look at the mail archive for this month and the last sorted by author and see the mails from Shiju. They all start as "Sharing insights and experiences from Indian language wiki communities" Followed by the language name, which is towards then end and not displayed by gmail and most client. The first mention of the language is after 70 character spaces, which is usually too long for most clients including gmail to render in the inbox itself.
