That is a wonderful news not just for Konkani, but the
whole of Indian
Wikimedian community!
Konkani, with its unique demographic patterns, scripts and styles, is one
very special and dear sister among the Indian languages under the purview
of Wikimedia projects.
Having a complete 'pre-built' wikikosh within the realms of Konkani
Wikipedia will catapult the project many fathoms ahead on its journey to a
promising future.
My heartfelt thanks to all the people who worked on this, especially,
Harriet and Frederick.

Dear All,
On behalf of CIS-A2K, I am glad to share with you that GOA University has
signed an MoU with CIS-A2K.
As part of this MoU Goa University and CIS-A2K will work together to
digitize “Konkani Vishwakosh” under Creative Common license and build a
Digital Knowledge Partnership in order to enhance digital literacy in the
Konkani language and facilitate collaborative knowledge production and
disseminate the same free of cost through Kokani Wikipedia (currently under
incubation). Gos University and CIS-A2K will co-design and jointly
implement relevant training programmes to achieve this objective.
CIS-A2K is grateful for the support and encouragement received from the
Goa University Vice-Chancellor Dr. Satish Shetye; Prof. Alito Siqueira;
Prof. Priyadarshini Tadkodkar; Dr. Madhavi Sardesai; Dr. Gopakumar; and
other faculty of Goa University.
We are also equally grateful to Wikipedians Harriet Vidyasagar and
Frederick Noronha who have engaged with CIS-A2K team and been a constant
source of support.
Wish us best of luck!
Vishnu
