=Aksibot=
I also run a bot - Aksibot - which is used to tag orphaned non-free images. The bot works using the pywikipediabot framework.
Other wikiprojects
I have made a few edits to the Gujarati wikipedia as well as the English wiktionary. I plan to spend more time at the guwiki as it it needs more editors. I am also a member of the Wikimedia Foundation Special projects language subcommittee in charge of developing a clear policy and documentation for new language projects and their proposal, processing those requests, and supporting and coordinating new projects to optimize their success.
