UrduWiki is part of a move suggested initially by ZackAjmal and launched by a post that appeared on Asif's Multi-Lingual Blog∞. UrduWiki is established by AsifIqbal on suggestion from Nabeel∞ with a goal to achieve the following objectives, most of which are proposed by ZackAjmal:

1. An Urdu Bloggers directory: It should have a list of all Urdu weblogs. These might be divided into categories based on language (monolingual, bilingual, etc.), topic, frequency of Urdu posts or other such stuff. We can even have RSS syndication of the recent posts from Urdu blogs.
2. An Urdu Bloggers webring: Right now, we have a webring here. It would, however, be better to integrate the webring with the directory since then the blogger list wouldn’t need to be maintained in two places.
3. Instructions on how to blog in Urdu for blogger.com, Wordpress and Movable Type.
4. Regarding the previous point, one option could be to provide some basic templates which work well for Urdu, preferable for bilingual (Urdu as major and English as minor language).
5. Links and instructions for setting up one’s computer (Windows XP and Windows 2000 at the very least, but preferably other operating systems too) to read/write Urdu.
6. A package of Urdu fonts.
7. Links to Urdu related web resources.
8. Links to websites that use Urdu Unicode text.
9. Links to good and useful in content Urdu websites which use images.
10. Translation and provision of an Urdu Bulletin Board. phpBB appears to be a good candidate.
