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.
Best regards,

I do not recollect being contacted for any such thing and don't even remember any discussion on Chotaro (village pump) where community would have concluded so.

Apologies for not being able to take up Gujarati as one of the focus language areas. This is mainly because we do not have a network of institutions and groups. Of course the current A2K team also lacks familiarity with Gujarati. But we also do not have current capacities in Marathi and Bangla.
Based on the discussions with two Gujarati Wikimedians we have decided to support Gujarati Wikisource project. We welcome your feedback and suggestions to further improve it.
Regards, Nitika
