Hi Jimbo,

I am a regular user of the wikipedia, and for along time I was planning for starting Bengali pages for wikipedia.

Now a days, several open source fonts and authoring tools are available for Bengali, and it would be easier to start this.

But I could not start it following the instructions given in the "start a new edition" page....

Is there anything special that I need...? First of all I could find 'edit this page' for the main page.

Plz inform...or let me know where can I find the info..

sincerely
