[Wikiml-l] [Commons-l] Announcement: Selected Books from Malayalam Wikisource on CD released

[Maarten Dammers]

Dear Malayalam Wikimedia Community,

Please don't cross post to 6 mailinglists, that's a bit spammy. If you 
have a nice announcement, like this one,  you can use 
wikimediaannounce-l at lists.wikimedia.org .

Good luck with your project,

Maarten
