Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Releasing Wikipedia CD – "few concerns"

Even though Srikanth had clearly explained most of the things, let me add few things. I am very much aware of Wikipedia CD/DVD project (and other offline releases) across the world and about the different initiatives surrounding it. In fact I was the project coordinator for the Malayalam wikipedia

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Releasing Wikipedia CD – "few concerns"

Dear Nikhil (& et all), Request to NOT take it personally. Whatever you are doing is a great initiative and really appreciable. But these comments are not to undermine your efforts. Srikanth's reply should completely explain why Shiju was trying to ma

Hi All, I had a great time reading the blogpost. Very amusing. But had to clarify some things before we all pick up our pitch-forks and torches, so.. http://nikhilsheth.blogspot.com/2011/03/clarification-about-wfsoe-and-english.html I can fully understand the knee-jerk mechanism of reading one e

Hoi, The opening and the re-opening of a project can be done when the rules for a new project have been complied with. They are the full localisation of MediaWiki and a subset of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation. I am really happy that the localisation for the Oriya language has sta

[Wikimediaindia-l] Appeal for reopening of Odia (Oriya) Wictionary

Hi, Subhashish here from Odia (Oriya) Wikipedia. It is really sad that the project for Odia (Oriya) Wictionary was initiated and and again closed in 2007, probably then I was hardly aware about Wikipedia in Indian languages, but sincere apologies for my ignorance. Hereby, I request all of you to h

Hi Subhashish, Tinu Thanks for your wishes. Just to clarify, I was personally involved in only one of the workshops. Most of the workshops were team efforts including help coming from non-Tamil Wikipedians too. Mainly, people like User:Sodabottle, User:Logicwiki (Srikanth Lakshmanan), Mahir, Sunda

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Recent Tamil Wiki outreach efforts

Great job Ravi and team, you people always inspire me just like the end sea junction, the Mahasangam at Kanyakumari. I have many things to learn during my stay here in South India, surely there are great to actions to be converted from the thought process involving learning the natural abilities of
