[Wikimediaindia-l] ToI front page: Rs 1 cr for Sanskrit WP

Times of India in Bangalore front page article about the Karnataka budget says there is Rs 1 Cr for Sanskrit Wikipedia. Anyone know anything about this? Barry Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] ToI front page: Rs 1 cr for Sanskrit WP

Yea. I remember that announcement 2 years back and then it got converted into an internal project. But, a good opportunity for advocacy here. Perhaps some chapter members should meet the department officials and try and get co-opted into the decision-making process. Often, it is lack of informatio

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] ToI front page: Rs 1 cr for Sanskrit WP

Just checked with my sources in the government - and what I hear is that the allocated funds *isn't* for Sanskrit Wikipedia, but a project "on the lines" of Sanskrit Wikipedia, but perhaps with editing control. On Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 10:45 AM, Prashanth NS wrote: > Yea. I remember that announcem

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] ToI front page: Rs 1 cr for Sanskrit WP

Sanskrit Bharathi volunteers were generally keen on our Sanskrit Wikipedia. Arunram and others have conducted Wiki academies for them. Probably good idea to take them more into confidence with our movement. While Kerala & TN governments have chosen to go with the Wikipedia, it is sad that Karnatak

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-blr] ToI front page: Rs 1 cr for Sanskrit WP

Let us hope that this is not such a one. What if this is actually meant for our Sanskrit Wikipedia ? Or possibly we convince them it is worth for developing the existing Sanskrit Wikipedia ? Let us not jump into conclusions and let us hear from the person who have been invited today by Arunram.
