A user [[:ml:User:Vinodmp|Vinod Menon M. P.]] had taken the initial tasks for it. After its creation he was the key person for the next 2 years. Almost all the early users of Malayalam Wikipedia were [[Malayalaee|Malayalees]] (speakers of the Malayalam language). The growth of the Wikipedia during these times was very slow due to technical issues such as browser problems, font problems, and other problems. == References == {{reflist}} {{wikipedias}} [[Category:Wikipedias]]
