Hi,
WMIN chapter president Rahul Deshmukh attended Wikimania 2018 in Cape Town
without being selected for any type of scholarship. My question is why was
he sent to the conference depriving other community members from India who
were in the waiting list.
He spoke in the informal chairpersons' meetup for few minutes. The meeting
doesn't require president of the organization's presence, and already there
were 2 EC member of WMIN present, who could have attended the meeting.
To me, this is utter misuse of power and abuse of donation money.
Thanks,
Bodhisattwa

Hello,
This might be interesting.
I do remember a year or so ago, we had a discussion on this mailing list or
on Wikimedia-l (I tried to find the thread, but failed) where we found any
template where a calculation is needed, Indian-language numbers or digits
are not working. A general conclusion was citing an RFC which states
Indian-language numbers/digits are considered as letters.
User:আফতাবুজ্জামান (User:Aftabuzzaman) showed a template
https://bn.wikipedia.org/s/a7tz which is supported by a module
https://bn.wikipedia.org/s/9utr which converts the Indic-language numbers,
hence allows the calculation to be done in Indic-language digit itself.
Perhaps some of you will find it useful
Thanks

Hi
I understand that all of you are busy but there’s something very important
that everyone missed or didn’t find important. I shared an email on 30th
July about the event some Wikiwomen are planning regarding health issues.
The community was informed via mail and the organisers must have shared the
idea within their respective communities, but there was not even a single
response to the notification. The project earlier called "Wiki Science
Month India 2018" and now “Wiki Women for Women Well-being” aims to improve
Wikimedia's coverage of health issues and also our focus is to explore
Women leadership. Amid this occasion, an endeavor will be made to prepare
the intrigued ladies wikimedians from various networks
about organizing events. The details of the event can be found here-
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Science_Month_India_2018?venotify=crea…
We have also filed a grant request for the same. Despite the email and
personal requests, very few people have supported the event. I think this
Wikimania discussion is taking all our time and focus, you all are
requested to please visit the page and share your views and suggestions.
Interested individuals or communities are requested to sign in the
participants section on the meta page.
The link to the grant request page is-
