In (very) short summary, it's been an action packed 4-5 weeks, the team has
Great work, Campus ambassadors from Pune. You have the full support of the
Pune community.
BTW moved the page from Wikipedia:Puneto Wikipedia:Pune Campus
Ambassadors Program, as the city has many more facets in addition to the
program.
Warm regards,

Hi Hisham,
It's very comprehensive and light headed reading, first I thought I'll never
reach till end but I did :)
You captured almost all of it, and it was a sort of nostalgia for me while
reading.
Cheers,
Ram

No wonder they say five new experimental alpha languages!
Thank you.
In fact it affected the community growth also. Allowing this type paid
editing is one of the bad things happened in Indic wikis recently.

Great, now in ta wiki we are stuck with the task of correcting a 1000 crappy
large articles. No wonder they showed little interest in correcting or copy
editing and always wanted to push for more new articles. They must have had
an internal target of X words or so for gaining experience for the
Indian campus ambassador program, Malayalam Wikisource CD , Wikiconference
India, chapter membership drive and AGM featured/ mentioned in the latest
Signpost.
