Tamil Wikipedia has played a pioneering venue for recording the knowledge base of the Tamil speaking communities and knowledge available in the Tamil language. We have been compiling various details about the Tamil speaking communities. However, there are obstacles to recording some important knowledge systems. These obstacles include lack of supplementary resources, lack of appropriate precedence, lack of internet connectivity and lack of committed users. One of the areas that has not receive adequate attention is traditional professional arts and crafts and knowledge bases associated with such arts and crafts. This project seeks document via multimedia platforms information pertaining to professional arts and crafts in practice in Jaffna, Malaiyaham and Batticaloa.
