I've notified Gautam about this. I'll see if planemad can help out.

I am Zachary Harden, but maybe better known as user Zscout370. I am an administrator for both the English Wikipedia and the Commons. The main work I do on both sites is to contribute is to flag drawings and information. Recently, the flag of India article passed a review of its Featured Article status. With that flag, there are three documents issued by the Indian Standards Institute (now the Bureau of Indian Standards) that describes every detail about the flag. However, I am not inside of India and it feels like not many people are able to help. I know you can buy the standards online, but the prices are x10 or more for me because I am an American.

Most importantly to me, the SVG file of the Indian flag will be corrected based on these documents. The files will not be hosted on Wikipedia proper because of copyright, but will be used as reference guides.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Malayalam Wikimedians meetup - 2010 April 17 - Kalamasseri, Ernakulam
Hello WikiMedians, With great pleasure let me inform you about the *Malayalam Wikimedia users meetup*. Today *(2010 April 17) Malayalam Wikimedians* are coming together for the 3rd wikimeetup at RajaGiri College of Social Sciences, Kalamassery, Ernakulam http://www.rajagiri.edu/. The first malayalam wikimeetup was happened in 2007 Decemver 31, and the second meetup was in 2008 October 31. We are extremely happy to inform you about some of the major things happening as a part of this meetup. 1. *We are releasing a Malayalam Wikipedia CD* that contain 500 articles selected from the 12,000 articles that were available in Malayalam Wikipedia during 2010 March. Please note that we are not releasing an offline version of malayalam wiki articles. It is a customized version of articles very much similar to the English Wikipedia on CD (http://wikipediaondvd.com/). We have provided many other additional facilities/addons that are applicable to Malayalam language on this CD. I will provide you the link to download this CD after we release the CD at 3 PM Indian standard time. With the release of this CD, we have become the first Indian language WikiMdedia foundation Wiki releasing such a CD. Also, I assume that no other non-latin languages tried this due to the number of technical hurdles that need to over come while working with non-latin languages. *We have developed a dedicated application (in GNU/Linux) for creating this CD. *I will share you the details of this software as soon as it is available for community development. I will write a separate mail regarding the efforts that went behind the creation of this CD. 2.* We are setting up a new website for coordinating the various activities of Malayalam Wikimedians.* I will share the link soon. The CD version of Malayalam Wikipedia will be avilable for download from this site later today. 3. *We are releasing a printed book (in Malayalam language) that contain 25 frequently asked questions about Wiki, Wikipedia, and Malayalam Wikipedia. *I think if this docuemnt is translated to English, many other Indian languages can reuse it. Requeting the help of wikimedians to translate it to English and available it to all. I will provide you the link to download this book later today. The production cost of CD and the book is sponsored by i...@schoolhttp://www.itschool.gov.in/and the meetup is sponsored by number of NGO's including SPACE http://www.space-kerala.org/. *We are trying for the live streaming of this event.* The link will be provided as soon as it is available. I will share more details about the meetup later today.
