languages. Wikipedia is currently available in 21 Indian languages.*
*
*
*The India chapter is focussed on creating greater awareness of Wikipedia
in Indian languages and to increase the volunteer editor base and Indian
content through its initiatives. “The portal will make it easier to locate
Indian language Wikipedias and other projects,” said Arun Ram, executive
committee member of Wikimedia India.*
*
*
*The Bangalore event, open to all Wikipedia users, contributors and
enthusiasts, is being held at the Centre for Internet and Society at Domlur

contributors are present in sizeable numbers.*

*The New Indian Express : " Malayalam Wikipedia gaining popularity"*
http://expressbuzz.com/states/kerala/malayalam-wikipedia-gaining-popularity…http://ibnlive.in.com/news/malayalam-wikipedia-gaining-popularity/218865-60…
(
Republication by CNN-IBN/ IBN Live)
*Malayalam seems to have more lovers in the virtual world. The activities
of Malayalam Wikipedia might surpass every literary movement in the state
so far. The Malayalam Wikipedia movement had been active with an avalanche
of information, especially in the last year.*
*
*
*As many as 5,755 new articles were added in 2011, making the total number
of articles 21,873. As many as 8,744 new members were added in the last
year alone.*
*The popularity of the movement is the effect of concerted effort of the
Wikimedians.*
*
*
*The community, which joins in the virtual world, has introduced a number
of activities such as ‘Wiki Grandhasala’, ‘Wiki Nikhandu’, Mapping,
development of one-line information and lot more. A number of workshops was
also organised throughout the state, making the movement more popular.*
*
*
* The Malayalam Wikipedia has the seventh largest collection of articles,
(21,873) in India. Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Bishnupriya Manipuri and
Bengali top the list with the highest number of articles.*
*The Wikimedians expect that the articles in Malayalam would reach 25,000
by the middle of this year. An online quiz was one of the programmes
conducted to popularise the movement. The programme began in October.*
*As part of the 10th anniversary, a project was mooted to add more
information to the one-line information.*
*
*
*Around 250 one-line informations were identified and around 80 were
developed. Malayalam wiki dictionary now has 71,184 definitions.*
*As many as 10,573 new definitions were added in 2011. Some definitions
were made more informative by uploading related photos.*
*Apart from Malayalam and English, the Malayalam wiki dictionary has
definitions of words in Tamil, Japanese, Hindi/ Sanskrit, Korean, Arabic/
Urdu, Chinese, French, Persian, Dutch, Hebrew, Bengali and Greek.*
*
*
*One of the innovative projects was ‘Malayalam Loves Wikipedia’ movement,
where Wikimedians could contribute relevant and copyright-free pictures of
individuals, objects, plants etc.*
*As part of this programme as many as 2,158 copyright-free pictures were
added to Wikipedia.*
*
*
* Ramesh N G, admin of Malayalam Wikipedia, who is an IT engineer based in
Bangalore said 2011 was an eventful year for Wikipedia.*
*
*
*“Earlier the contributors were mainly IT employees and NRKs. It has
changed. Now there are contributors from various fields such as medicine,
law, academics etc. This makes information more authentic. School students
actively got involved in programmes such as Wiki Grandhasala, which made
the movement even more popular among students,” Ramesh added.*

Subject: Fw: FUEL & Style Guide for Odia.
To: subhransupanda(a)yahoo.co.in, ajitnayak2000(a)gmail.com, gora(a)mimirtech.com,
lalitpatel(a)gmail.com, Jitendra Dash <dashbenhur(a)yahoo.com>, Puspashree <

Hello,
FUEL - frequently used entries for localization - is basically a set of
terms used for computer work in any particular language. Efforts are on
among the open source workers to standardise these terms to maintain
uniformity. Results of the work in Odia, carried out mostly at RedHat, is
attached. That for Hindi is available at
https://fedorahosted.org/fuel/wiki/fuel-hindi .
As far as Odia is concerned different vendors/developers have come out with
their versions of many products. Two major examples are Microsoft's Windows
7 / Office 2010 and Fedora Linux. Modular's Ankur Indian Laguage Office
Suite also has tried to present Odia interface for all the applications
included. However, the variations are wide and Odia interfaces are far from
being smooth. All these are available with us if anyone wants to take a
look. We are preparing some notes on these. Microsoft's style guide is at
http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=ori-ind-styleguide&source=web&cd=3…
.
Personally, I have always felt the need for a dedicated group taking up
this work on a long term and continuous basis. But we have not been able to
devote that time and energy in this direction. Even now we are very short
of manpower and are rather pressed with our work on the digitization of
Odia periodicals. We hope to be in a better position after April 2012. In
the meantime we can use any help available in this direction.
Manoj, whose mail is appended below, has been planning for a workshop on
the subject as detailed below. We feel that it should be taken up seriously
as a starting point for a concerted effort over a period of at least one
year, rather than achieving definite results during the workshop. We should
also look at some general problems faced in the Odia language computing
activity. Some of these are outlined in the old notes attached with this
mail. Windows issues will also have to be addressed in some way.
Please consider the matter and air your views as to the best way to go
about this. Also please try to bring this to the notice of others. If
everyone feels that we should get together on January 26-27, we can make
arrangements here at Srujanika or any other suitable place.
We will make a wider announcement after the event is fixed up.
Looking forward to hearing from all soon.
With best wishes,

PS: Jitendra babu - can we rope in Prafulla babu (Tripathy) for this? Would
you please give a thought to the lucidity of the terms?

Dear Nikhil Sir,
Happy New Year to you and Srujanika team.
Sending you the fuel Odia .pdf file in attachment. And i'm preparing the
FUEL Style Guide for Odia. I'll send that to you for verification after
completing.
I already spoke to Gora bhai and Arun (working in Microsoft, Hyderabad)
about the event. They will come to bbsr for two days to attend this event.
Only we need one or two Linguist people during the evaluation process.
Please let me know if you have any contacts.
We are planning to have it on January last week, probably on 26 th & 27 th.
Please let me know if it is possible for you on 26 th & 27th. Else let us
know your convenient time.
Also i'm relying on you about the venue where we can sit together for the
discussion.
Thanks & Regards!
Manoj

position)

Tamil (ta) - 60.5 %
Malayalam (ml) - 66.3 %
Telugu (te) - 79.5 %
