"Join us at this hackathon to make Indic language support better for reading and writing articles on Wikipedia for desktop and mobile platforms. I promise you it will be a lot of fun and a great accomplishment!"
»Amir
"If you can't use a program in your own language as easily as in English, it's not a missing nice-to-have feature, but a bug."
»Rachel
"Ice forever!"
»Santhosh
"Free knowledge requires free fonts and input tools. For your language, you can help us!"
»Siebrand
"You have a right to a proper user interface in your native tongue."
»Yuvi
"I love writing code and I can help you get started. Everyone in the MediaWiki community is super friendly. Including me!"
»Arthur
"The mobile projects essentially give us a blank slate for Mediawiki development and interfacing with Wikipedia. This is a super exciting opportunity for us to build the next generation tools to allow for richer and more widespread participation in Mediawiki-based projects. Come help us make it happen!"
Wikimedia is holding a technical meetup in Pune, India alongside the GNUnifyconference. This hackathon is a chance to learn how to develop using MediaWiki, Phonegap and our other technologies, and to work alongside experts. Software engineers, designers, and translators are welcome!
