Thanks to all our organizers and very passionate participants. This was a
project for Women by Women & Men. Walking hand-in-hand with members of all
genders, we can truly bridge the gender gap in Wikipedia! Thank you Sumita
Roy Dutta for being the national mentor and co-organizer for this contest.
Special thanks to CIS A2K, WLL Team and WMDE who were our sponsoring
partners for the project!
