[Wikimediaindia-l] Proposal: Wiki Marathon

[Srikeit]

A gem of an idea. I like Tinu's suggestion of creating articles for the CWG
medal winners. I remember doing something similar (individually, of course)
for the 2006 CWG.

Maybe Ravi or Tinu (someone more active than me, at least) could create a
project page for this initiative. That would really get it off the ground.
