Dear All,
As mentioned in the last two mails, as part of the
Indic Languages initiatives of India Programs, I have been having detailed discussions with a wide range of Indic language wikipedians for the past few weeks. I already shared the summary of the discussions I had with with the
Assamese and
Hindi wikimedians.
Today I'm sharing a summary of the discussions I had with the Sanskrit wikipedians. It is available here:
I must say the progress made by Sanskrit wiki projects in the past 2 years is marvelous, especially considering the fact that its speaker base is too low (compared to the rest of the 20 indic languages having wikipedia). The amount of activism is Sanskrit wikisource is also very high. I am sure Sanskrit wiki community is the one wiki community that is going to utilize all the sister projects at its fullest.
Sanskrit wiki workshops are happening all over the country. Today I attended a Sanskrit wiki workshop in a Sanskrit institution at New Dellhi. In Delhi itself Sanskrit wikipedians are planning many other Sanskrit wiki activities. With so many volunteers involved in the projects I am sure Sanskrit is going to make good progress.
