Respected Shri Noopur Raval,
Can there be a comparative technical study of the scripts of different Indic
languages?
with regards,
Damodar Bale.

Dear all,
Here are
the logs for the IRC that happened on 19th April, 2012.
This IRC was centered around Outreach in Indic languages and Communications
updates. In Indic language outreach, we discussed translating documents
that support outreach in different languages. Another important point
discussed was the need to have more Indic langauge outreach sessions. Some
members from the Hindi, Telugu, Bengali and Odia
community have already translated these
documents.
In communications, we discussed
Wikipatrikaand
the social
media planfor
Odia community.
6 communities have created pages for Wikipatrika in their respective
Wikipedias so far and the social media pilot will begin in the next week.
If you were unable to attend the IRC and have any inputs or feedback,
please do reach out to Nitika (for outreach) and Noopur (for
communications). Here are our email ids: ntandon(a)wikimedia.org and
noopur(a)wikimedia.org.
Thanks
Noopur

Hey folks
The next India Program IRC (2nd for April) is
scheduled for Thursday 19th
April at 9 p.m. IST. Do join us using this link:
We'll be discussing Outreach, Communications and
Education in this one.
Here is what we plan to discuss this time:
*Outreach*
Over the past few months we have conducted several
outreach sessions and
have been able to curate outreach standard
presentation decks, best
practices and tips. Now we want to assist community
members in
adopting/adapting these to conduct effective outreach
sessions in their
respective cities/languages. We'll be soon working
on 2 aspects for
increasing the number of outreach sessions we are
doing on Indic languages
but we need your help on this:
1. Start translating outreach supporting documents to
Indic languages - To
start with we want Indic language community members to
help us translate
outreach documents and presentations to Indic
languages.
2. Create opportunities for Indic outreach - We have
been mailing/calling
a lot of institutes to organize a Wikipedia session
(see list here)[1]
in their regional language but we have not able to get
as many outreach
sessions as we'd like since they feel more
comfortable corresponding in
their own regional language. We want help from Indic
langauge editors who
are interested to do more outreach in their regional
languages/cities to
help us reach out to these institutes.
I'd request all the Indic language editors who
want to help us out on
either of the two points mentioned above to show up on
the IRC or write to
us offlist since we'll be discussing ways of doing
effective outreach in
regional languages.
*Communications:* *Wikipatrika:*
6 communities (Assamese, Gujarati, Marathi,
Nepali,Odia, Telugu ) have
already created Wikipatrika pages on their respective
Wikipedias. The new
template for Wikipatrika is up here.[2]
In tomorrow's outreach, we could discuss ideas and
suggestions to make
Wikipatrika more useful. We could also discuss any
problems that community
members maybe facing.
*Communications:* *Odia Social Media pilot:*
As proposed earlier, here's[3]
the social media pilot to support the Odia community
members. The end
result of this pilot is to attract more newbies and
introduce them to the
Wikiverse. This pilot is to try out effective
messaging strategies to use a
platform like Facebook optimally and try to recruit
more editors to the
Odia Wikipedia. The most important nuance is that we
have built a draft
social media messaging strategy and plan to work
closely with the Odia
community to implement it - through the community
members. We hope to
discuss this plan and get your inputs on it.
As always, the first 45 minutes will be focused on
these and the last 15
minutes will be open to any other topic.
Hope you all can join us.
(For those who can't join, the logs will be put up
the next morning at
Thanks
