Hi Lane, Thank you so much for your kind words,
It is all because of the active participation of the community members in such initiative and also their effort in making these collaborations successful. l also believe that the WikiTungi program by the Odia community has helped in making the presence of the movement in the state and spread awareness of the movement in Odisha. The community members in WikiTungi meetups are very active and is a good platform for the community to learn and share about the movement. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/03/01/digest-wikitungi/ On Tue, 19 Sep 2017 at 9:26 PM, Lane Rasberry <[email protected]> wrote: > This is really progressive and unusual. > > Years ago when The Centre for Internet & Society began focused outreach to > the Odia community I did not expect great progress and precedents.
