Sinhala and IT

Sinhala Wikipedia Statistics

We have 86 pages as per the count in the morning Sri Lanka time.
The most active contributor these days is Ruwan [http://si.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ruwan].
Sadly we have very few contributors so far.

Today’s Situation: Do we need Sinhala?

The main difficulty with “Sinhala and IT” is not the technology; but the people themselves. Most of the people I asked for support gave comments like these:

• There is no need to have an Encyclopedia in Sinhala
• It is much easier to deal with knowledge in English than in Sinhala

...and a wonderful:

• I won’t do it because you are asking it

Well, personally I agree with both the first two points. There is actually no need to have IT in Sinhala. To tell you the truth my interest in this area is because it is a good academic challenge to work with IT in Sinhala.
