[Wikimedia-l] A five-minute task new volunteers can do

[Vishnu]

Great idea!! Will circulate it  :)

In India we have recently attempted translating the Malayalam Wikimedia 
11th Anniversary banner into various Indian languages using FB.  Here is 
the work-in-progress

For me this was a useful experiment in trying to harness social media 
time for Wikimedia purposes. Not sure if it is (technically) possible to 
explore this linkage for something like the commons transcribe or 
translatewiki.net.

Cheers,
Vishnu
