Dear All,
As mentioned in the last two mails, as part of the Indic Languages initiatives of India Programshttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_Languages, 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 Assamesehttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_Languages/Assamese/Discussions/2011and Hindihttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_Languages/Hindi/Discussions/2011wikimedians.
Today I'm sharing a summary of the discussions I had with the Sanskrit wikipedians. It is available here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_L...
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.
Inviting your comments on the talk page.
Regards, Shiju Alex

Sanskrit Wikisource needs translators.
There are about 60 messages which are needed before Wikisource can start doing quality work

This is another notable thing that needs to mention about Sanskrit Wiki community. During the past 2 months lot of progresshttp://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&limit=500&days=60&translations=only&trailer=%2Fsais made in the translation of system messages in Translate wiki. I am sure community will soon take up the Wikisource related translations also.
Now sa-wiki community is keen on enabling Proof read extension, Deja vu and other wikisource related extensions on Wikisource. One issue that we face is, most of the Indic wikipedians have not worked much on this. (ml wikipedians done few of those wikisource stuff with your (John Vandenberg )support). Of course community require the support from experienced wikimedians l since not much progress is made in the sister language wiki projects in most of the Indian languages.
