Hello everyone,
We have a few updates regarding the WikiConference India 2020 proposal for
Hyderabad. Initial conversations around the proposal of conducting Wiki
Conference India 2020 in Hyderabad were started in earlier this month in
several Indian wikimedia spaces (Wikimedia India-l mailing list, Meta-Wiki,
and, several Indian language Wikipedias village pumps).
Firstly, we are happy to share the news that there has been a very good
positive response from individual Wikimedians[1]. Also there have
community-wide discussions on local Village Pumps on various languages.
Several of these discussions have reached consensus[2], and are supporting
this idea.
We will be engaging with more communities this week, and clear any
concerns/doubts people may have during this week. Also to wrap up these
discussions and conclude, we would like to call for IRC.
Details of IRC:
* Timings and Date: 6:00 pm on 20 November 2019
* Website: https://webchat.freenode.net/
* Channel: #wci
Looking forward for all your active participation.
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan Santhosh.

The 2020 Community Wishlist Survey
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020> is now
open! This survey is the process where communities decide what the Community
Tech <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech> team should work on
over the next year. We encourage everyone to submit proposals until the
deadline on November 11, or comment on other proposals to help make them
better. To submit proposals, you can check out the guidelines on the survey
page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020#Guidelines>.
This year, we’ll only be accepting wishes for non-Wikipedia content
projects with no dedicated teams (i.e., Wikibooks, Wiktionary, Wikiquote,
Wikisource, Wikiversity, Wikispecies, Wikivoyage, and Wikinews). To learn
more about the new format, we invite you to visit the survey page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020#New_format_f…>.
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing your proposals!
