[Wikimediaindia-l] Maithili

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
For your information, a request has been made for the Maithili language.
Given that the language Maithili fulfills the requirements of the language
committee, it has the "eligible" status. This means that when the conditions
have been met, the Maithili request will be approved.

I have asked for Maithili to be enabled on BetaWik<http://translatewiki.net>i,
this means that everything is in place for this phase. I have asked for
English to be the fall back language as Hindi is currently not an option as
this language is not really supported in MediaWiki at this time  (18.35% -
7.57% - 0.00%).

There has been a lot of activity at BetaWiki, when you look at the group
statistics <http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Group_statistics>, you
will find that a lot of progress has been made for the Indian languages..  I
do want to remind you that all the work done in BetaWiki will be available
in all the WMF projects (particularly Commons is of relevance here). The
localisations will also become available in the releases of the MediaWiki
software. There is a growing number of projects outside the WMF particularly
in languages other then English. With more websites using MediaWiki, it
becomes easier to find people who can contribute to our projects as well.

Thanks,
     GerardM
