:Hi Shiju, thanks for your efforts. Regarding your suggestions, we are already doing a featured content CD. Education program to attract students is really out of scope considering the current strength of the community. GLAM initiative could be done if we have couple of interested volunteers. As always, we will continue lobbying for free content and outreach. For small communities, we need to come up with innovative and indigenous ideas to promote the wiki culture. --இரவி 05:45, 19 சனவரி 2012 (UTC)  
::Shiju, thanks for offering help. A team of volunteers is currently working on curating content for the CD. I'm sure we'll be able to use your help once the content is finalised. User:Sodabottle or User:Logicwiki may contact you when they need any support. -- சுந்தர் <sup>\பேச்சு</sup> 11:22, 25 சனவரி 2012 (UTC)  
Thank you very much Ravi and Sundar for the reply.  
//Education program to attract students is really out of scope considering the current strength of the community.//  
I understand that considering the current strenghth of community an Education program may not viable at this point of time. We shall take it up later (when the community strenghth reaches a critical number) or we shall do it very small number. For Malayalam we tried doing two small education programs (One, two) for Malayalam Wikisource involving about 35 students (see the talk pages of the pages I provided) to digitize two old malayalam source texts. It was a success. Few of these students are editing in malayalam wikipedia now. Again as you know since number was low and since it was Wikisource managing was little easier. Few community members has plan to extend the education program for wikipedia also. They are discussing the way (and time also) of doing that considering the nature of malayalam wikipedia and considering various other challenges encountered in the other education programs of Wikipedia. Again the number will be very small (not more than 50, considering the strenghth of ml community)

Sure we shall work on this. Do communiuty have any prefernce on the type of institution (or a list of good institutions)that we can do a pilot GLAM for Tamil? I recommend a small (but where we get a valubale treasure of information for Tamil community) institution in which the management and staff will be supportive. Again in Malayalam, community is looking for a small institution (rather than going after big institutions) where management and staff are cooperative. If we prepare a small list of such instituions we can start preparing a proposal and approach some those institutions. I am really keen on some thing happening on GLAM in indic wikis rather than we always talk and plan for GLAM. I am sure if community decides this can be easily done since we do not require a big team of community members to manage this. I suggest to discuss this and let me know your thoughts.

Sure. I will extend all support. Please let me know when ever you require any assitance on this. I think it is a good idea that while User:Sodabottle, User:Logicwiki, and other Tamil wikipedians work on the actual article content, one or two volunteers can start working on the non-artcle pages (copyright, disclaimer, behind the scene, and other similar pages) that need to be included in the CD. I can help with that. Also start thinking about releasing the content of the CD in multiple formats, like an Android/iphone app, epub format, and other potentail mobile device formats.  
Please let me know if any assistance required on any of these,  
Thanks once again for the replies. --Shiju Alex (WMF) 04:25, 26 சனவரி 2012 (UTC)
