[Wikimedia-l] Re: Release of Tulu Documentary 'Pursa Kattuna' by Karavali Wikimedians

[Bharathesha A B]

Hi Galder,

Sorry for the delayed reply. We're thrilled about the progress with the
documentary.

Regarding your request for the documentary without subtitles in the video,
we currently have the files, but they haven't been uploaded to Wiki Commons
yet. To facilitate sharing, we can provide you with a TimedText file
separately. This way, you'll have the flexibility to manage subtitles
without any issues.

Could you please let us know the preferred method for sharing these files
with you? We want to ensure a smooth and convenient process.

Looking forward to your guidance on this.

Best regards,

Bharathesha Alasandemajalu

It would probably be best to file them in phabricator for improved tracking
