Little update about arranging Wiki Loves Monuments in Bangladesh.
As you know we're arranging this even for the first time, and we have a
really small number of volunteers to work on this. We have created our
on-wiki list in Bangla Wikipedia which can be found at
http://bit.ly/JtrBCt-- this is a list of 391 monuments in Bangladesh.
This list is indeed
incomplete, but that's the only list we found out from Department of
Archeology, Bangladesh. We had an idea to find out the monuments with more
inquiry (mostly local inquiries with local museums and organization so
far), but we decided to go with those for now. We do not have much time and
volunteers for this for this year.
Not everything is on-wiki yet, however we hope to put everything on-wiki
soon. Also we prepared a draft of our own timeline of this event. We may
skip things like creating a new OTRS queue for WLM because we do not have
sufficient eligible and available volunteers to work on this so we will
simply use our chapter queue. Also about the website, dot org dot bd
domains can only be assigned by BTCL to a locally registered organization.
We hope to get the site up upon confirmation of the registration of our
chapter that I can only hope to be completed soon.
Although we have many problems but WMBD still hopes to arrange the WLM with
success.
