Hi all, The Wikimedia India portal has been up and running for a while now. I request the attention of available volunteers to help us with the Wikimedia website redesign. We mainly need help with two issues: 1. Wikimedia India wiki: The Main Page of the wiki (wiki.wikimedia.in) requires a

Hi Anirudh I brought up the issue with wikimedia.in domain earlier, why not have it redirect to the wiki itself and add a section for blog/news on wiki. It would seem like there would be a lot of redundancy between the two, and it would only require more work to update both separately. Either

Thanks much for the offer of help, Beria. Really appreciate that. Personally, I would agree with the sentiment that a single website serves the purpose. We can simply lock some pages to make them static, the rest can work like a wiki. Are there more suggestions on this issue? Should we have
