Would be really nice. Especially, would like to see if and how Tamil
Wikipedia hit the hockey-stick growth phase during 2009 and some
retrospection on the "Future Plans" section.

Unfortunately I can't read Tamil. In completely awe with the way Tamil
community has so systematically maintained Annual Reports, for so long! A
good model for other Indian language Wikipedias too. We will incorporate
this into the A2K Work Plans.

Would you suggest that it is worthwhile for A2K to get these Annual Reports
translated into English, so that it can be shared with global community?

Warmly,
Vishnu

[Ravishankar]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your wishes.

Adethya,

We issue sitenotices in Tamil Wikipedia before any such event. We will try
to be more regular with the Chennai and Tamil Wiki mailing lists in future.

Vishnu,

Glad you found this report useful.

You can check the report "A case study on Tamil Wikipedia" presented in
Wikimani 2009 at

While a lot of things said there still holds good, a lot has happened over
the last four years and we will try to cover that in a blog post soon.

For those who can understand Tamil, you can find our annual reports
published since 2005 at

[Wikimediaindia-l] A week long of Tamil Wikipedia outreach in Srilanka.

[Vishnu t]

Dear Ravi,

Thank you for sharing this very useful update. When I tried meeting some of
the active Tamil Wikipedians, I pleasantly realized that many are in
Srilanka and the Tamil diaspora. It was in fact a learning for me and quite
contrary to my presumptions about Tamil Wiki Community.

Could I encourage you or someone from Tamil Wiki Community to write a blog
post about the Tamil Wiki Community? How it has grown over the last 3
years, what are the modes of community interactions, geo mapping of the
community, the community's experience in getting new editors, etc. Also a
brief profile of some active editors with photo (like the way some of the
Tamil Wikimedians are showcased). Please excuse my ignirance if it is
already done. If so please point to that and I would enjoy reading about
the community in English.

Thanks,
Vishnu
