<br>
This is further to our telephone talk on Saturday regarding the Filmi<br>
Chashma Workshop for school teachers. Please have a look at<br>
<a href="http://www.filmichashma.org" target="_blank">www.filmichashma.org</a> for an overview of the project<br>
<br>
To go over the workshop requirements:<br>
<br>
Your session, scheduled 2.00 to 3.30pm on Thursday 25 Nov, will be on<br>
" Intro to the phenomenon of the wiki world, finding what you need in<br>
the wiki world and contributing what you know back to it." Beyond the<br>
utility of it please bring out the philosophy, the altruism and<br>
self-correcting mechanisms and all the things that make it an<br>
authentic upto-the-moment encyclopedia. Please also encourage them and<br>
their students to contribute to it, particularly in Indian languages.<br>
A visit to teh Hindi and Marathi wikipedias would be good.<br>
<br>
Plus we want you to please address another similar meeting in Pune on<br>
17 Dec at 11.45 to 1.15. Please tell me if you are free to make a<br>
trip.<br>

The venue as you know, is in the conference room on 6th floor of the<br>
Times of India Building opposite VT station. <br>

Thank you and looking forward to an exciting time!<br>
