The workshop was divided into two sessions. The first session was an
Introductory presentation about wiki, Wikipedia, and Hindi wikiprojects. In
the second session we introduced wiki editing to the participants. There was
also a short introduction about WikiBhasha by the representatives form
Microsoft.
The participants asked many questions about wiki, Wikimedia Foundation,
Wikipedia, sister projects and so on. They also asked some queries regarding
featured articles, protected pages typing tools, policies of Hindi
wikipedia, and so on. The participants are introduced to wiki wiki editing
in a simple way.We also gave them information regarding transliteration tool
and taught them to write in Devanagari on Hindi wikipedia.
At the end of the workshop all were introduced to WikiBhasha tool by
