[Wikimediaindia-l] Sharing insights and experiences from Indian language wikipedias - Assamese

[Subhashish Panigrahi]

Good to see the progress the Assamese Wiki Community building, and the FAQ
set. Hoping to see the FAQ Booklet in PDF and more outreach activities, WCI
would work like a catalyst to promote. In fact Assamese people are
widespread all over India and quite conscious for language and literature.
So, that is a great way to reach to more language enthusiasts.

Cheers!
