Opps! It’s happening again!

Today we got a new post in one of our talk pages.

I am sorry, this translation from English wiki Current Events is killing me..I can not do it alone

How do you feel about it?

I know, I’ve felt the same way when I started on the project. You started working and you are working everyday hoping that some one will join you and someone will use your work. But hey; nobody even care.

Now before you start on blaming every politician, you’ve to listen to this.

First let me ask you few question.
  1. Who uses Sinhala wikipedia?
  2. Do we really need an encyclopedia in Sinhala?
  3. Do we have something that can be called a Sinhala community?
  4. Do people like to work in Sinhala?
I guess that’s enough for one round. Try to answer them and I’ll get back to you with more info on this.

Thanks UoC!

Well... Yes I know. It's really a long time since my last post in this blog. But you know half the reason. As I expected, time blew that storm away and now we are back again in calm waters.

However I have many things to report now. One great thing is University of Colombo is doing a great job by helping in. You won’t believe the article count as of 2008-08-14 goes up to 795. Most of this goes to University of Colombo.

I know Dr. Ruwan has been behind this but that’s all I know about that side. I wish I knew the rest of the people who were there so that I can personally thank them.

Even though I do not know you all personally, thank you all for the great work!

Stay tuned if you want to know more.
