Re: [Wikimedia-l] Preparing a proofreading contest for Wikisource's 10th aniversary
Dear Micru, Wonderful initiative! From India the Malayalam Wikisource community might be keen to take part in this. They have also recently released an offline CD (volume 2) of the Malayalam Wikisource. Taking the liberty to copy the Malayalam list on this for them to take lead on this. CIS (not from the A2K Grant) will be glad to sponsor two prizes (one e-book reader and one portable pen-scanner), if the ML community take lead on this.

Super cool. I know a lot of GLAM folks in the US who would be excited about this. And I'm a fan of more love for WS that's for sure! -Sar On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 2:17 PM, Vishnu T visdav...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Micru, Wonderful initiative!
