Re: [Wikiml-l] It’s a Wiki Wiki world!

http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110911/jsp/7days/story_14492284.jsp "Seventy-three-year old G. Balachandran from Paravur, Kerala, has a different story to tell. Paralysed for nearly two decades, this retired junior commissioned officer of the Indian Army got a new lease of life, thanks to Wikipedia. When his son presented him with a laptop, Balachandran started contributing to Wikipedia in Malayalam. “Wikipedia not only helped me rediscover myself, but also gave me the strength to fight my condition,” says Balachandran, who has contributed nearly 100 articles to the Malayalam Wikipedia since 2008 and has more than 2,000 edits to his credit." "Malayalam and Bengali are two other Indian languages that have been witnessing some active contributions in recent times." _______________________________________________ Wikiml-l is the mailing list for Malayalam Wikimedia Projects email: Wikiml-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Website: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikiml-l
