Kudos to all behind this. I would call this mini conference, Sodabottle travelled from land of Cheras, Essar from land of Pandyas for this meetup/<whatever>. Also more awareness/outreach/meetups is required in tier-2 cities / towns and community(especially Indic will gain a lot from it).
Please scroll down, mail isnt complete.
1) Workshop page and talk page in ta wiki:

This is why one needs ShortURL. Will this bug bugzilla.wikimedia.org/1450 ever get some attention that its due? Note:- Tamil Wiki generally uses tawp.inshortened URLs, there is an open bug in it, I thought we will wait for the official extension rather than spending time to fix it. I think its safe to assume that ShortURL will not see end of tunnel atleast for few more months, So I would look around fixing it. There seems no point in waiting for deployment. I am disappointed.
