Goals

Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?

Peoples from Nepali Wikipedia, Maithili Wikipedia, Wikidata, Organizations working in Language and Society, and FOSS Nepal participated in the interaction and discussions followed by the Doteli Wikipedia's 1st Anniversary Celebration program.
