Thanks Nitika for the update,
I went through the link that you have provided.
Regarding language selection criteria, one of the point out of four given
points, is:
>*Willingness of that particular language community
to interact and engage
with the A2K team.* Though we tried approaching other
language communities,
>we were given to understand that they would like to
consider engaging
with us at a later point. We have respected the community's
decision and
are open to
>work with a couple of language areas later in time.
Did you approach Gujarati Wikipedia in similar manner? I have kept two
admins of Guj. wiki. so that they also come to know about my question.
*>>Familiarity of the A2K team members with the language.* Each of us are
editors/can edit in most of the above language Wikipedias.
>This will give us an insider's perspective of
what is happening in that
particular language community and the Wikimedia projects.
that is mentioned as the last point, it sounds like this was the only
criterion that worked towards selection of languages. and I feel it is nice
way to say that "these are the languages that we like and hence we started
working on it.
Awaiting some lights on this.
