Tinu, It is upsetting that you are quitting the movement, as you were
my first Wiki friend and it was at your place that I met like mined
people as part of the movement. However, all that matters is that you
will continue editing, and I hope we can remain edit buddies like we
were in 2009.

 Thanks Anoopan for sharing this good news. Congratulations all those
 who contributes to Malayalam Wiktionary.

 If possible, can someone also share with some stats growth of Malayalam
 Wiktionary , especially on earlier key milestones ike when 25k, 50k,etc
 happened.
 And who are the key contributors for the growth ...
 What are the best practices?
 Did Malayalam Wiktionary get data from any Government Dictionary
 projects etc.

 It would certainly help other language Wiktionary projects.

 Tinu Cherian
