Learning
The introductory presentation worked very well and many new enthusiastic wikipedians join us.the greatest thing is that we had new wikis from almost all streams of education,be it technical, management, science etc all in Hindi (which was our target group) Though initially we did faced problem due to 6 account/IP address limitation (which we overcome by initiating the account from mobile) and the Hindi keyboard typing (unexpectedly all the new wikipedians from university were well versed in native hindi typing) but encountered problem in configuration of hindi keyboard. We would ask for delimiting of account restriction/ip address prior to the workshop/editathon/new wikipedians recruitment drive.
 * What worked well?
 * What did not work so well?
 * What would you do differently next time?

We will ensure that both the native hindi keyboard as well as google input tools keyboard are present and are working will prior to the program.
