Since that time, various community members have been involved with creating a regular version of the newsletter; today,* we are pleased to announce the commencement of WikiPatrika*, a monthly newsletter of Wikimedia community, chapter and foundation updates from India. 'Patrika' is the closest pan-Indian word that has roughly similar meaning across the country that also conveys the right spirit; it has a multitude of meanings, but is broadly understood to mean 'journal' or 'magazine'. WikiPatrika is an independent publication which is not affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation or the Wikimedia India chapter.
