Thank you for the interest, Srikanth. Hope
someone's able to do something
along these lines (yes, "suitable" interwiki link surfaced in a banner will
do) during the hackathon. Topical cues can be taken up later, but we should
pluck the low-hanging fruits first. :)

Hi all,
[Apologies if a similar thing has been proposed earlier, I haven't been
able to read much of the recent discussions.]
I had a thought of channelling readers and editors of English Wikipedia
(and similar projects) to other Indian language wikis based on their IP
addresses and the topic being read. I've put down the proposal at
http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposal:Funneling_multilingual_readers_…
as
it is applicable elsewhere too than just India. Please read and discuss the
proposal. It'll be great if some of us can take the lead and do a pilot with
two or three Wikis. Personally, I'll not be able to commit much time these
days, but can support if somebody takes the lead. I suggest that we can put
up a project page (specific to Indian wikis) at
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Projects:2011-12 if there is enough support
Good idea Sundar. I have something in mind just to bring in interwiki links
on sitenotice banner dynamically, so we can run a "dynamic" campaign.
Geo-based banners would be good. Am not sure how easy would it be to include
categories into the picture. But one more thing to work at India Hackathon.
Thanks!
