We are extremely thankful to all of them who have taken time out in sharing their ideas and opinions and in actively giving feedback, which has helped us immensely in drawing up these plans. This document has been made keeping in mind the objectives, opportunities and challenges faced by each of the Indian language Wikimedia projects. We welcome your feedback and suggestions to further refine these plans. However, for the sake of structured engagement, we would request you to *please read the following guidelines [2] on how to share your feedback.*We would deeply appreciate if you could share your valuable feedback in the next three weeks based on which we will revise the plans.
