It looks like people could use this template on a main page to display a
featured article, a user, changes from the current month, and so on. (I
ran the Tamil documentation through Google Translate and didn't
understand everything; an English translation would be welcome, as would
a TODO list for future options to add.)
Surya Prakash is at suryaceg{{@}}gmail.com. Thanks to Surya, Yuvi, and
the organizers of the Chennai event!
Thanks,

Hi all,
The event went very well. About 70-80 people from various open source /
open content communities attended the sessions over two days. Apart from
the usual benefits, Tamil Wikipedia has gained an important tool -
automated front page maintenance. The code for this was written using Lua
by Surya Prakash under the guidance of Yuvipanda. If other wiki projects
want to make use of this, it is available at
http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Main_page. Please get in touch with
Surya if you need any help.
A special shout out to Dwarak and team of Mozilla India, for making this
excellent event happen. We hope to have more such open weekend events in
Chennai regularly.
