Well Shiju Alex seems to be busy in real life almost since 9th oct there is no contri from his side not an issue , but I am feeling more of lonely fellow for that matter I update mailers to India mailing list besides few under represented indian language wikipedias identified most editing users I left messages to them about strategy wiki ,To that I got atleast enrolment from Mr.Vyas of Gujrati langugae wikipedia.Besides on my request most editing editor from Marathi Languge wikipedia Mr.Abhay Natu participated in answering the questianeer.

Besides I sent an emailed interview format to one Mr. of Chanakya Pariwar at my native town en:pune India.

Secondly , I personally went on to meet and took sample feed back from principal of local eminant Master of social work college Dr.Deepak Walokar of Karve Institute of Social Services .I woill be sharing that feed back in detail here (need a little time to do that)

One good suggession I liked from him was visitor trafic coming from India to en wikipedia should show other Indian languge main page options at the otp of the main page itself.Mahitgar 15:02, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Mahitgar- Thanks so much for all of your active participation. It will definitely be important for other members of the task force to start to engage in some of the material. If you are not getting responses on liquid threads it might be a good idea to to e-mail them directly. Some taskforces are using IRC chat as a way to start there work. One other comment- I have posted a template Template:Recommendations for your team to use in writing up the strategic recommendations. It would be great if you and the other people on your task force could take a look at it, give me any feedback as to its usefulness, Ed start filling it out with some of your hypotheses around what strategic recommendations would be best and what analysis would be needed to support those recommendations. I am hoping that this template helps people to organize their thinking and analysis. Any ideas or comments on it would be very helpful to me. Sarah476 18:56, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes I liked Template:Recommendations and I noted a positive feed back some where about it but I was not signed in then .Thanks for your support .

At meta we have a page that takes note of users who edited more than 1000 times in different indian wikipedias , besides I active user lists of various wikipedias and user participating in discussions at en:Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics also can be spammed for supporting strategy wiki discussion.But first I need support in having a good spamming message and then may be bot support to spam their talk pages .

I talked with user:Philippe about the possibility of a getting some support to create a bot to spam the talk pages of edited more than 1000 times in different Indian wikipedias. He said that most Wikipedia communities have rules regarding the approval of bots. Do you know what the rules are for the Indian wikipedias? Do you think you could figure out what we would have to do to get the bot approved? If we can find a way to get the bot approved I think we can find someone to help us write the actual bot. I also think it is a good idea to put a message up on the notice board for India related topics. I will spend a little time and draft a message which you can take a look at. Then if you think it is good, we could post on not notice board. another possibility that Philippe mentioned was to ask a local sysop whether they have a process for using "watchlist notices" That would display a link to the strategy wiki every time someone goes to their watchlist. Let me know what you think

Hi Mahitgar. Sorry about the slowness. The other Task Force members should be finalized this week. I skyped with Achal Prabhala (the facilitator of this Task Force) this morning, and I think this is going to be a very good group with active discussions. Thanks for your contributions and patience so far!
