Mysore event on Jan 15th
by Hari Prasad Nadig 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

Okay, around couple of weeks back I had initiated an attempt to organize Wikipedia 10th event at Mysore. There's been some excellent response and quite a lot of activity in attempts to organize this event. However, just to make sure that no one is left out from the opportunity of taking part (in organizing, participating), I'm putting this email to you all to add any Wikimedian, Wikipedian contacts you have in Mysore to the loop. Please mail me back off-the-list. There will be a formal announcement about the efforts later this week as three venues have been zeroed in on (one of those have confirmed availability and allow use of the venue on that day), however the final one among these three need to be confirmed. Looking forward to a nice gathering at the Knowledge capital of our state to celebrate Wikipedia! -- Hari Prasad Nadig http://hpnadig.net | http://twitter.com/hpnadig http://flickr.com/hpnadig

Kannada Wikipedia meet-up of 25th December 2010
by Hari Prasad Nadig 26 Dec '10

26 Dec '10

Hi all, It was quite overwhelming to see loads of people joining in for the Kannada Wikipedia meet-up beyond the expected numbers! http://www.flickr.com/photos/hpnadig/5290761488/ It was thought that less people would turn up given the difficulty getting to the venue and more importantly the holiday season. But it turned out to be a great day discussing Kannada Wikipedia and having some fun as well. Most of the audience felt that everyone should do a bit more to improve Kannada version, and the difficulty mainly was in the 'input method' for Kannada and fonts. There was this active set of several Wikimedians from Kannada wiktionary (which has of late been faring quite well). Few people using Google translator toolkit to add articles to Kannada Wikipedia were also present from the host, inetFrame solutions. There was an interaction between community members and this team on the translation process. Several doubts were resolved and few issues were sorted out. It was decided that a feedback/guidelines page would be put up on the Wiki for everyone using Google translator toolkit or the Microsoft Bhasha tool including those that were discussed today. There was discussion about bringing back the weekly collaborations that were happening once upon a time. Community members were also keen to know more about using the Google kit to translate lengthy articles. It was great fun discussing about translations and sharing some experiences on Wikipedia. Several people added in their thoughts about translations and about improving the overall quality of articles. It was decided that work should be started on putting up videos to help normal (non-techie) users edit Wikipedia. *[In fact, it would be a good idea to start this for most of the Indian language Wikipedias - drop me an email if any of you are interested in participating] Some of them (especially some contributors who have been on and off on the wiki due to several roadblocks they faced while editing) were keen to know whether a PDF with hands-on FAQ (an e-book) could be readied in Kannada that would help them figure out how to overcome the issues they face without having to contact sysops or active editors who already have their hands full. *[Any volunteers for this one? Again, we could do the same for all Indian languages. Sharing what we've learned all these days editing Wikipedia should be fun. Please enlist by dropping an email off the list.] The participants were keen to have regular meet-ups of the kind that would allow more interactions off-line to clear the doubts, help each other clearing roadblocks in contributing.

Transliteration Js and keymap added to Kannada Wikipedia
by Hari Prasad Nadig 26 Dec '10

26 Dec '10

Good news, people. We've added Kannada in-built typing tool for Kannada Wikipedia as well now. Thanks to Junaid's work - we've used his script to achieve this. Thanks to Harisha M G for helping modify the mapping for Kannada. The transliteration is working great - I just added it and tested it quite extensively and it is working fine. Please write to the Kannada Wikipedia mailing list if you have any feedback or face any issues while using this. Cheers, -- Hari Prasad Nadig http://hpnadig.net | http://twitter.com/hpnadig http://flickr.com/hpnadig

Problem with Kannada wikipedia (only)
by Harish 10 Oct '10

10 Oct '10

Hi all, I have a problem editing Kannada wikipedia articles after I login. It tries to download a page (index.php) instead of opening the editor. English and other language wikipedias don't have this problem. If I logout, however, I can edit the articles. Does anybody know any cause or solution for this problem? -- Harish

Wikimedia India Chapter
by Hari Prasad Nadig 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

Dear all, As Srikanth has already noticed in an earlier e-mail on Wikimedia India list, the draft Memoranda of Association for the proposed Wikimedia India Chapter has been put up on Meta here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_India/MoA Even as the team working on the current draft has spent the better part of a year working on it, I am sure that there would be scope for improvement. Please provide your invaluable comments and suggestions on the relevant talk page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_India/MoA However, given the time we have spent on the document, it is important that we proceed quickly and hence, I suggest that the comments be made on or before this Saturday, the 13th of March 2010. Let us maintain the Wiki-etiquette expected out of us during the discussion. People curious about the earlier and the current efforts at forming the India chapter may find my blog post on it, http://hpnadig.net/blog/2010/03/08/wikimedia-india/563 a complimenting read. More on Wikimedia India chapter can be seen on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_India Let us look forward to a great response in discussing and debating the MoA of the proposed Wikimedia India chapter. -- Hari Prasad Nadig http://hpnadig.net | http://twitter.com/hpnadig http://flickr.com/hpnadig
