Actually, "Wikimedia Malayalattha Snehikkunnu" is valid too. :)
- Sundar
"That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for
the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted."
- George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture

>>The Malayalam Wiki is on a roll. After winning accolades for its innovative
>>endeavours, the Malayalam Wiki continues to hog the limelight with its latest
>>project titled, ‘Malayalam Wikimediayaye Snehikkunnu' (Malayalam loves
>>Wikimedia).
>>Inspired by the resounding success of Wiki projects elsewhere—like ‘London
>>loves Wikimedia'—the new Malayalam Wiki project seeks to expand the Malayalam
>>Wiki repositories of free-to-access and use knowledge by adding
>>copyright-free news and feature photographs concerning Malayalam users.
>>“During the two-week project period between April 2 and April 17, we intend
>>to sensitise Malayalam Wiki contributors and users to enrich Malayalam Wiki
>>ventures by contributing free-to-use photographs. Despite boasting over
>>17,000 articles on a variety of topics, the Malayalam Wiki can't claim to
>>have many copyright-free pictures. Hence the project,” maintains Shiju Alex,
>>Malayalam Wiki activist and coordinator.
>>The timing of the project couldn't have been any better, given the
>>forthcoming assembly polls. “This is the time you get to photograph the
>>State's prominent political personalities. We have articles on many of them,
>>but most of their available photographs are copyrighted,” he says. Four days
>>into the project, over 400 free-to-use photographs have been generated by
>>Malayalam Wiki users across the globe and uploaded into
>>http://commons.wikimedia.org and http://ml.wikipedia.org.
>>Besides political leaders, the project seeks to obtain copyright-free
>>photographs of places of historical significance; monuments; institutions of
>>governance including local bodies; noted personalities in the State's social
>>and cultural spheres as part of the project. “The two-week project period is
>>just a token observance. The exercise is sure to stay on further,” says Mr.
>>Alex. Contributors are encouraged to provide material besides additional
>>information pertaining to the photographs they upload. They have also been
>>asked to give, if possible, the geo-coding (on-map location coordinates) of
>>the photographs. An FAQ on the objectives and mode of implementation of the
>>project is available on the Malayalam Wiki page announcing it. A help mail,
>>h...@mlwiki.in, has also been set up to field queries. Wiki activists Rajesh
>>Odayanchal and Ajay Kuyiloor have designed a unique logo and advertisement
>>for the project.
