While broadly concurring with Ravi, I have been informed by several
Wikimedians that the office also had to deal with a plethora of well-meant
queries and initiatives from external sources, ie outside India. I don't

Hi all,
My best wishes for the new A2K team.
A sincere request to all Indian Wikimedians:
CIS has been given a grant by WMF. Let CIS do their job in peace and let
them be answerable to the grant review committee.
Just because they are located in India and working on Indian Wikimedia

I don't know Vishnu, and I have only followed the recruitment process by
email windowshopping, no direct participation. I have also enjoyed and

Dear Matin,
does it mean WMF is going to stop donation campaign in India? No more Jimmy
Wales appeal for Indians?
The WMF will continue to run its own donation campaign in India. One could
donate to the Foundation round the year, by following this link :

Welcome Tejaswini.
Its great that a person of your wide interests, experience and
accomplishments is associated with the Indian language Wikipedian movement.
Indian Language Wikipedias need all the help they can get and it is a great
asset to have some one like you to present a different viewpoint
hi Vishnu,
Thank you for clarifying this. Noopur's email slightly confused me to believe
that Dr. Niranjana was becoming part of the A2K team under you. That is why I
sought the clarification.
I think mentioning such additions in a stand alone email would be more worthy

I have also copied her, to keep her in the loop (until she is included in
the list). I had the privilege of attending a workshop session she
conducted in Mumbai a couple of months back, and it was absolutely

Hello Arun Ganesh,
Thank you for your response. These are baby steps and without 80g exemption

this is an attempt to test unknown waters and we hope for a positive
