Well, Wikipedia has been mentioned in the local media several times in the
past year or two.  However, what seems to be more definitive is the increase
in number of people using Kannada on the Internet. In a community (dedicated
to Kannada literature) that I personally manage, the jump in incoming users
(in dialy sign-ups and activity) has been around 40% - 50% which to me seems
quite substantial having been familiar with Kannada populace on the
Internet.
