Konkani Wikipedia — Climbing up the Indian Language Ladder?: by Subhashish Panigrahi — published Aug 31, 2013 — last modified Oct 25, 2013 07:16 AM — filed under: Access to Knowledge, Wikimedia, Wikipedia, Workshop, Video, Openness
Konkani as a language has seen geographical, political and religious conflicts. Being the official language of Goa and spoken widely in the Indian states of Karnataka, Kerala and Maharashtra it is still trying to strengthen its base. Recently CIS-A2K in collaboration with Goa University organized a four-day workshop for MA, Konkani language students. This workshop involved 38 students creating 43 new articles on Konkani Wikipedia which is incubation. We’re hoping that these efforts will contribute towards bringing this 7 year old project out of incubation to a live Wikipedia project.
