Dear Abhay ,
I suppose you will be attending upcoming Mumbai Meetup tomorrow.As suggested by Mr.Anay
and Ms.Bishakha please take the opportunity to discuss with Ms.Dnyanada and other
wikipedians if they can initiate/support some kind of direct indirect presence/intro about
Marathi wikipedia at upcoming Marathi Sahitya Sammelan at Thane on coming 25/26/27
December.Or May be we can request Mumbai Wikipedian to arrange next month meet up at Thane
coinciding the same days and in the same area.
Marathi Sahitya Sammelan is anual gathering and people from across Maharashtra come to
attend the same ,so it would be a good opportunity to reach out to right people at the
right time, for growth of Wiki activities.

Yes,
Unfortunately that is true. Since our meeting I have added some information in a couple of
articles but never edited any. My friend and senior journalist Dnyanada Deshpande (she was
features editor with IBN Lokmat) would like to attend tomorrow's meeting. I will have
to attend a programme on ICT for rural development in Mumbai University.
Dnyanada is an active member of Marathi Granthalaya in Thane and I am sure she will be
able to connect you with the organisers of Sahitya Sammelan.
I have written an article about Jimmy Wale's talk in Mumbai and Wikipedia movement in
the forthcoming issue of Maharashtra Maza weekly. I hope it will create greater awareness
about the importance of this subject.
Marking a copy of this mail to Dnyanada so that you can get touch with her.
Regards,
Anay

Dear Vijay,
When is the Marathi Sahitya Sammelan? I saw this link online -
http://www.mynews.in/News/Thane_offers_to_host_84th_Marathi_Sahitya_Sammela…
Also: how can we get in touch with the Mumbai Marathi Granthalaya community?
Anay can hopefully help, but I am not sure he edits on wikipedia.
I can also try and mobilize some Mumbai-based wikipedians who edit in Marathi eg Suyog
Vyavahare (who is interested in wiki advocacy) or Utkarshraj Atmaram or contact others
through them. They can do the volunteering with the Marathi Granthalaya community for
starts.
Let me know next steps and I will try to help for sure.

Dear Mr.Anay
Ms.Bishakha forwarded your mail to mr-wiki yahoo group and I got to know about you.
Presently we do not have known active wikipedians at Thane so in past few days I have
been sending emails here and there that some one represents/initiates Marathi Wikipedia in
some formal/informal way at मराठी साहित्य संमेलन
Besides we need some volunteering to introduce Marathi Wikipedia concept to "Mumbai
Marathi Granthalay " reader community.
I am making this request to you since you are based a Mumbai
Reagards
Vijay
