[Foundation-l] Is popularity a good thing for us?

[GerardM]

Hoi,
Please ... the best way to spread knowledge is not for people reading
en.wikipedia. English is the language with the most resources on the
Internet. Arguably our content in Bangla is more relevant. So be nice and
indicate that the best thing for people to do is read any of our projects.
(etc does not cover it)
Thanks,
     GerardM
