[edit] Badly Done

The article is not well wikified, it's POV and has a bad tone, the article needs a serious overhaul, or just merge it with Goa... Considering it's been untouched for a long time (about a year...) I doubt anyone will bother with it... but sadly, I know nothing of the Goans.. --FlareNUKE 09:49, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Could this article be re-organised? I think it does Goa a disservice to have works in English branded Goan literature and then Konkani (and Portuguese for that matter) relegated to another section. Maybe just divide the works by language? Goan Literature in English, in Konkani etc. What do people think of that? Paul Castro 08:38, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Could use links

I cleaned up the npov, adspeak, and irrelevant text about the book trade. When someone has time, the authors and/or their works should be linked if possible. Cheers, Her Pegship 06:34, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Good job, after such a long time, it's finally been cleaned up... --FlareNUKE 10:41, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Move

Literature shouldn't be capitalized, but I wonder if Goan literature would be more appropriate than Goa literature. NickelShoe 04:21, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Konkani Wikipedia

Dear Konknni friends,

Konkani Wikipedia has been started and been in test stage since August 2006.

Kindly contribute towards the Konkani wikipedia. We intend to make it a multiscript

Wikipeida. At least tri-script with Devanangiri, Roman and Kannada scripts since these are the most popular ones.

We would like to get more articles/templates in place. We also need volunteers to do the thankless and boring job of transliterating it to different scripts .

As of now only two members are making active contributions. The more the merrier. Your contribution is vital to its success.
