Dear fellows,
First of all, apologies for English. I am short of time and resources to get
to somewhere that I can type/read Malayalam.
It would be great if some one could initiate a project to bring the
traditional measuring systems of our state into Wiki. This is a start
<http://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/เดเตเดฐเดณเดคเตเดคเดฟเดฒเต_เดชเตเดฐเดพเดคเดจ_เด เดณเดตเตเดคเตเดเตเดเดเตเดเตพ>and some hints
towards expanding would be towards Thola, Nazhi,
idangazhi<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Idangazhi.JPG>,
Kol, etc etc. if some one can fish out an Enchuvadi (I hope we still get it
there), that may have some of it. It may be worth while to ask our grand
parents, they will have explanations as well. This is something that is
being forgotten and we need to preserve the knowledge for our own sake.
Traditional carpentry tools and measurements should also be covered in
this.
Comments welcome.
Thanks.
Regards,
Jyothis.

*The Hindu : "Now, copyright-free maps of States, districts, panchayats"*
http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/article1697940.ece
*As โMalayalam Loves Wikipediaโ campaign gets good response..*
*
*
*Even as the โMalayalam Loves Wikipediaโ campaign, launched to expand the
knowledge repositories of Malayalam Wikipedia with copyright-free
Malayalam-related photographs, continues to evoke overwhelming response from
Wiki users and contributors, a project meant to make available online
free-to-use national map and maps of States, districts and panchayats is
making silent, but significant strides.*
*
*
*The ambitious project was taken up by Bangalore-based software engineer and
Wiki contributor Rajesh Odayanchal. Other contributors, Ajay Kuyiloor,
Naveen and Jason Nedumbala, joined him in the venture. The team crossed a
milestone when a copyleft [free of copyright] map of India โ to be further
fine-tuned โ and maps of the districts of Kerala and some States were
readied.*
*
*
*โOur aim is to prepare maps of all Indian States up to ward-level, which is
a humungous task. But we are confident that we will be able to execute
district-wise, panchayat-level and ward-level maps of Kerala. Regarding
other States, we may not be able to source data to do that kind of
micro-level cartography, so we will most likely restrict ourselves to
district-level mapmaking for the time being,โ Mr. Odayanchal said.*
*
*
*The project, carried out using vector graphics software Inkscape, carries a
GNU General Public Licence that renders it copyleft. Separate maps are made
in Malayalam and English. The modalities of execution have been well-laid
out in order to standardise the maps and make categorisation easy.*
*
*
*โGiven the magnitude of the project, we would like to have more persons
conversant with Inkscape,โ Mr. Odayanchal said.*
*
*
*To this end, a Google group has been formed, whichcan be contacted at
mlwiki-maps(a)googlegroups.com.*
*
*
*Separately, the Malayalam Wiki is also set to add to its database a
copyleft version of Kottarathil Sankunni's Aithihyamala (Garland of Legends)
under a project initiated by Santhosh Thottingal, a member of Wikimedia
Foundation's language committee.*
*
*
*The โMalayalam Loves Wikimedia' project, launched on April 2, received over
1,200 pictures as on Wednesday. It also found a mention in the international
Wikimedia signpost.*
