Hi,
I have mentioned in the meeting last Saturday, that we put it on a
randomizer (lottery) :
http://www.random.org/.
Section A: For Endemic Languages
Each country will suggest 5 A to B-class articles related to their country
(like cultural or non-political event, local personality, place, endemic
flora/fauna) in English language. From all articles deposited, the
randomizer will select 1 article per week and it will run for 10 weeks (2
and a half months). That 1 article should be a A class article at the end
of the week for each language. Each country must work on a minimum of 1
local language and maximum of 5 local languages.
Section B: For English language dominated countries
Each Asia Pacific country must submit 5 stub to C-Class articles related to
their country (like cultural or non-political event, local personality,
place, endemic flora/fauna) in English language. From all articles
deposited, the randomizer will select 1 article per week and it will run
for 10 weeks (2 and a half months). That 1 article should be a A class
article at the end of the week in English language.

Josh, some languages are still in the incubator, while
most have their own
Wikipedia.
A list of the currently available languages [Indian] are here:

On a related note, I have mentioned this collaboration on the talk page at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lilavati%27s_Daughters_Edit-a-thon
Perhaps, this might help in some large scale collaboration.

Do each of those languages have a Wikipedia? List
composition is left to
the national editing communities to decide: they can either make a national
list, or make a longer list which combines individual languages' lists. (By
language, I mean a Wikipedia which will participate in the program. If,
let's say, Konkani or Assamese doesn't want to participate, they are free
to do so, but they cannot contribute to the list of articles participating
in the program.)

Hi, while I wasn't party to the original conversation, I do have my
doubts about this project and its scope in India. We have 20 officially
recognised languages in our country. Each. Language has an associated
culture with it with is unique. Could be quite a headache.

I was going to suggest something even more modest and have one article
per country/language/wiki. If we can do that minimum successfully then
next time we can aim for a higher goal.
Cheers,

Hi,
On the list archives -- OK, though honestly I'm not sure whether I'm
prepared to plow through all the archives.
On the cultural exchange programme -- 20 articles per country seems
really ambitious, especially if the point was to have some tangible results
within three months. I mean, let's say only China, South Korea and the
Philippines nominate 20 articles each. That means our friend from Israel
who offered to translate these articles for the Hebrew Wikipedia will have
60 articles to translate. I would suggest about two to three articles for a
start, and no more than five per country. Finish these first, and then
nominate some more.
Cheers,
Jack
