Hello Wikimedians,

After we (Malayalam Wikimedia Community http://www.mlwiki.in/) released the Malayalam Wikipedia CD, Version 1.0http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.com/2010/04/best-of-malayalam-wikipedia.html, many wikimedians have asked me about the efforts and processes that went behind the creation of the first Indian language wikipedia on CD. Here is my reply for that.

Since the reply is long and has many hyperlinks I have published it as blogpost. You can read the blog post here. http://shijualex.wordpress.com/2010/04/24/creating-malayalam-wikipedia-cd/

Queries, comments, or clarifications are most welcome.

It definitely deserves attention. Please write to the Signpost editor and add a note at the outreach wiki too.

Hoi, I have blogged about the Malayalam CD project. I like it. I noticed that it did not appear on any of the blog aggregators. This is the kind of project that deserves more attention. Certainly when you blog in English, there is no reason why it should not be read by more of the Wikimedia community. Thanks, GerardM

PS my blog is on two aggregators
