Hi,
That was great summary to read. On a lighter vein, it seems en.wiki needs
some "encouragement/focus" in Marathi land, i couldn't see it being
discussed at all, but for translation.

Dear Wikimedians ,
Thank you all for the overwhelming response to the 2010 Sept 18th Pune
Wikimedia meetup. 17 people had attended this meet. Special thanks to HOD &
staff of Women’s Studies Centre, University of Pune and visiting media and open
source movement fraternity for their active parti
Hi,
I am not surprised at the low edit rate of Hindi. What surprises me is the
high and comparable rates in other wikis :)
I assume that web users just sign up in many sites with expectations like
some premium features etc., The biggest barrier to increasing contribution
to Wikipedia is that even
All the best wishes for the Delhi Wiki-meetup today !

Hoi,
What you write is completely beside the point. My operating system is in
English and I am perfectly able to see the characters in the Wikipedias we
have because I installed the font support for them. The small percentage of
people who edited have created a user on the Hindi Wikipedia. They are
The issue with Hindi goes beyond what is mentioned in the previous mails.
The account creation in Hindi Wikipedia should not be mistaken as the
account created by the native language users. After global account is

I agree theres a bunch of reasons.
First Hindi is dominant in only half the country, its has 400-500 million
speaker in India, around half the total population. Its especially dominant
in North India, where economic factors and technological divide also come
into play. the educated metropolitan po

Hi -
Frank Schulenberg did an interesting analysis that looked at the
proportion of people creating a new account on Wikipedia who go on to
make an edit within 10 days. It was surprising to see that Hindi
