Hi all,
On behalf of the Wikimedia India chapter, I would like to
sincerely thank everyone who helped this initiative.
The job is not complete and the portals still need lots of tweaking and
improvements.
If the efforts of Naveen are left unmentioned, it would be very unfair.
The Wikimedia Project Gateways is essentially the brain child and one of
the dream projects of our Secretary, Naveen Francis.
I am sure he wouldn't allow me to tell it here if asked, but I have to
confess that Naveen had even invested lots of his personal money in
obtaining the domains too.
His efforts in getting this work done is really applaudable.
Thank you, Naveen & everyone.
We sincerely hope that you will find these portals useful and informative.
Regards
Tinu Cherian
