The codes are meant as a unique identifier and making them easy to remember is in some way helpful in others it is problematic. It is problematic because all the existing expressions in a language will still be known by the old code. Consequently the codes stay the same and the new name is added with the old name as a valid synonym. To understand this, these names and codes are used internationally and the rest of the world does often find it hard to change.

Hi Wikipedians from India, Are you attending Wikimania 2011 at Haifa, Israel? Did you get scholarships from the Wikimedia Foundation for attending Wikimania this year? Please Add your name in this page so that others can know who all are travelling from India. It will help organize and get information from each other. http://wikimedia.in/wiki/Wikimania2011 Last year, this were only a few attendees and we went through lots of hurdles . I still remember Bishakha and Achal worked a lot to get our visas in time. This year, whoever is attending please add your name and can start helping / interacting with each other. I have added a small checklist. Please add more information so that it will help others too. All the best wishes.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Press] : The OPEN mag : Vernacular Wikipedia
... and I have yet to search for 'Bankimchandra Bose' :) BTW, I was startled to read that many of the Indian languages are *still* tagged as regional languages, (factually, they are official languages as far as Republic of India is concerned and some of them have official status across multiple nations) But ya, I agree with Tinu; this article did its job to bring Indic language wikipedias in focus.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Press] : The OPEN mag : Vernacular Wikipedia
Hey Tinu I wouldn't worry too much about the errors. It's a good article because it talks about the range of languages as well as calling out a number of editors. Those are both strong messages. Thanks, as always, for doing a wonderful job with media.
