Dear Tony, The roots for launching a Konkani wikipedia have already been laid, but where are the shoots? http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/gom/Mukhel_Pan
Just noticed The Hindu report raising the issue of multiplicity of scripts; but, in cyberspace, this is hardly an issue: http://www.hindu.com/2011/01/31/stories/2011013161060300.htm In the above URL, we made provisions for ALL scripts. And why not? At the end of the day, the problem is a LACK OF VOLUNTEERS. We rather spend our time pulling down each other, than contributing something specific: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goa-research-net/message/1661 http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00088.html FN Frederick Noronha :: +91-9822122436 :: +91-832-2409490 On 6 February 2011 21:19, Tony de Sa <[email protected]> wrote: > I thank Frederick, Vivian and Dominic (and Albert who responded directly) > for their responses to my query regarding the terminology defining > relationships in Konkani. > > There appears to be a need for our own Goan Konkani Wiki which would > address > such matters..
