[Wikimediaindia-l] Supporting the languages of India

[Bala Jeyaraman]

>>*Gerard is trying to understand Indian culture in good faith. He has made
some assumptions that he is keen to explore. May I request that we please
discuss maturely without getting offended? We need to not only AGF but be
CIVIL also.*

Unfortunately Gerard's attempt at understanding resulted in a official
wikimedia blog post and might result in WMF taking a path that has a
potential to damage indic wikis badly. He has written this from his
position as a WMF employee.  If tomorrow this translates this into official
WMF policy, we cant stop the clock back. We know this from previous
experience from the i18n team.
