Hi All, On behalf of Ankur English to Bengali dictionary project, I am delighted to welcome Rezwan, as the new editor of the dictionary project. He will be joining Dipankar Das and myself to have editing access on Ankur dictionary database.
Some of you may already know Rezwan. He is a prolific blogger. He blogs on wide-ranging issues, including several important social issues. He is a regular contributor to Global Voices Online [1] both in English and Bengali. You can read more in his blog http://rezwanul.blogspot.com In last couple of months, I have had several email exchanges with him and he had expressed keen interests on having a free dictionary for Bengali. I had requested him whether he could help Ankur dictionary project with his expertize. I am glad to hear his positive reply. Apart from editing, currently he is also exploring an interesting idea of giving out gift-cheques to volunteers of the project who contribute significant number of new dictionary entries. Personal donations could be one of the funding sources. Finally, current statistics of the dictionary project is available from here http://www.bengalinux.org/cgi-bin/abhidhan/statistics.pl [1] http://globalvoicesonline.org Cheers Golam -- http://methopath.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Bengalinux-core mailing list Bengalinux-core@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bengalinux-core
