The A2K team has recently met Bengali wikipedians in
Kolkata.[1] Based on our interaction we have worked on preparing an annual work plan on
Bengali Wikipedia [2] and reposted on Meta.[3] We'd request you all to share your
feedback on the talk page of the work plan [4] regarding the work plan which would help to
plan various different activities (Institutional collaboration for resource building,
meetups and outreach for community building).
<http://tagoreweb.in/>, SNLTR's hosted instance and
<http://sarat-rachanabali.becs.ac.in/> are limited in their utility
that they provide no means of using the text as a corpus or, trainer.
These are efforts worthy of appreciation. However, providing the means
for others to re-use the content as opposed to passive browser based
viewing is equally important.
I hope your assessment included that fact. Plus, I am always wary when
I read statements like "SNLTR has established that Unicode 5.0 and
above as the standard that can be adopted for different e-governance
applications and is also in parity with the international practice and
standard". In my limited understanding of how standardization does
happen, this is not the case.
