Star History

Yearly Progress: By End of 2020 - By End of 2021 - By End of 2022 - 26

Proposed plan:

• Find a good GitHub (open-source) repository
• Replicate it with “Samskritam” twist
• Add (with due credits/info) even if it is “Proof of Concept”

Inspiration/End Goal:

• Sugarlabs for Samskritam - https://www.sugarlabs.org/

• Supported by volunteers of Sanskrita Bharati

  Samskrita Bharati, a non-profit organization, is primarily dedicated to the mission of popularizing Sanskrit as a spoken language. Moving beyond veneration of Sanskrit as a classical or exotic language, Samskrita Bharati seeks to make this a contemporary language whose everyday usage becomes customary and widespread. Samskrita Bharati is a 501-(c)-(3) non-profit organization. https://samskritabharatiusa.org/

We aspire to collect/create 100+ "Teaching Aids" or "Recreational Games" or "Edutainment Tools" for Sanskrit here!

जयतु संस्कृतम्।

PS: more details/updates will be added as we proceed further - a movement is impossible without movers and shakers to come together - all are welcome!
