I am very happy and proud to hear that we got a wikimedia indic chapter.<br>
<br>
But I wonder why all these activities taken so hidden? We are a
community (or a community of communities), we've an active mailing
list, but I didn't hear anything about such an active effort (may be i
missed). Is there any separate communication medium? Or is this a
special chapter for wikimedia English projects?<br>
<br>
I recently learned someone as wikimedia indic chapter director from
linkedin (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://in.linkedin.com/in/kiruba">http://in.linkedin.com/in/kiruba</a>).
He is also being CEO,
Founder, Co-Founder, Director of many other initiatives (Actually I
don't have any problem about that). I am thinking about that election
process and members. I am sorry but
frankly I don't know any of other guys also. If possible introduce
them, and their home wiki. I wish, an informed community about any
further steps.<br>
<br>
If someone can clarify my thoughts originated from poor knowledge, I'll
be more happy. <br>

<pre wrap="">Dear all,
As Srikanth has already noticed in an earlier e-mail, the draft
Memoranda of Association for the proposed Wikimedia India Chapter has
been put up on Meta here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_India/MoA">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_India/MoA</a>
Even as the team working on the current draft has spent the better
part of a year working on it, I am sure that there would be scope for
improvement. Please provide your invaluable comments and suggestions
on the relevant talk page:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_India/MoA">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_India/MoA</a>.
However, given the time we have spent on the document, it is important
that we proceed quickly and hence, I suggest that the comments be made
on or before this Saturday, the 13th of March 2010. Let us maintain
the Wiki-etiquette expected out of us during the discussion.
People curious about the earlier and the current efforts at forming
the India chapter may find my blog post on it,

href="http://hpnadig.net/blog/2010/03/08/wikimedia-india/563">http://hpnadig.net/blog/2010/03/08/wikimedia-india/563</a> a complimenting
read. More on Wikimedia India chapter can be seen on

Let us look forward to a great response in discussing and debating the
MoA of the proposed Wikimedia India chapter.
