Well I don't know what you mean by "all new members to committees" exactly.
But I guess its difficult to guide every new member personally for mailing
list guidelines, FAQs etc and new members keep on coming so why go for a
repetitive task?
Guidelines, FAQs exist somewhere or the other, a new member has to find
that out on his/her own.
If they face any small query then they can contact any member personally
first and then later depending on the situation post to the entire list.
Thanks.

Hey everyone,
I've been looking at the archive of this list, and after a very promising
start of this list and the MediaWiki group, the traffic has died down a
little over the past few weeks.
I and a few other people of the Wikimedia Foundation (Amir, Alolita,
Niklas, Santhosh, Yuvi) are in Pune for and until GNUnify. Anything we can
help the group with, or at least have a meeting?
Cheers!

https://github.com/OSAS/strapping-mediawiki looks pretty awesome! (Example
at http://www.ovirt.org/Home). This also makes bootstrap's classes /
layouting helpers available to content inside the wiki itself, which is
pretty cool.
Perhpas we could build an experimental Mediawiki site for some sort of
crowdsourcing project, and make it look amazingly great? (With Bootstrap)
(thanks to Patrick Reilly on IRC)

*Dear all,*
*
*
*On the second anniversary of the Chapter, we made public our intention of
running our first fundraiser. Going ahead with the first phase of this
plan, we will be running a central site notice on the chapter website for a
period of two calendar months starting 1 February, 2013. In the second
phase of this plan, we aim to approach high networth individuals and
corporates in the month of March 2013. This will be done using personal and
professional networks of current and past EC members, staff, volunteers
among others.*
*
Suggestions, help and support from the community on what we can do to
ensure success of this fundraiser are welcome. Every drop counts :)
Donations can be made by Online Bank Transfer (NEFT/RTGS) or by sending us
a Cheque through snail mail. We are unable to accept card payments at this
current time. Link to the donation page on our website:
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Donate
Thanking you,
Executive Committee,
Wikimedia India.
*Reasoning* (From our public statement on 4 January, 2013)
A lot of people may ask why the chapter needs a fundraiser when it has
access to WMF funding. The answer is, we are still ineligible for FDC of
WMF (we hope to be eligible for the second round of funding in 2013) and
would need to rely on grants, spending of which is restricted by the WMF.
Since formation, the chapter has relied heavily on the Executive Committee
to take on the burden of running the show. In an ideal world, the EC would
like to take on the role of guiding the chapter rather than actually be
responsible for operations after two years of incorporation, which should
be best done by professionals rather than volunteers in their spare time.
The chapter has hired an employee (Sowmyan Tirumurti, our Executive
Manager) as well as plans to lease its own office premises in Bangalore. We
will need the help of those volunteers who are in a position to support us.
It could be a small individual donation or in the form of a corporate
donation from an institution. A small token of support from you could go a
long way in helping us achieving our goals of furthering the movement in
India.*
