The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here.
This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.
The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.
Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list,[2] and posted on Meta-Wiki.[3] Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this list as well.

இந்தப் பிரச்னையில் விக்கிப்பீடியாவைவிட (They can't be subjective, So, they

<!--Apologies if this mail is not in your language.-->
Friends,
TL; DR
After almost five years of professional engagement with the South Asian
language Wikimedia communities, I have decided to step down from my current
role. And I will remain a Wikipedian friend of yours who you can reach out
in volunteer capacity on my talk page.
——
I was about to complete my first wiki-versary when I joined the Wikimedia
Foundation’s India Program as a Consultant for Community and Program
Support. The program ran until August of 2012 and then got housed at the
Centre for Internet Society’s Access to Knowledge program (CIS-A2K) [0].
Thanks to Sunil, Pranesh, Nirmita, Nishant and many others at the CIS
family who embraced my team from India Program with great amount of trust.
CIS became more like a family for me all these years. It will always remain
my other home and alma mater - calling CIS a former employer will be quite
an understatement. I feel I grew as a person along with the organization
that is today a noted name for its research in openness, accessibility,
privacy, IP reform, access to knowledge, and digital humanity.
Over these years I have had the most memorable time in my personal and
professional life. I have traveled a lot in the country and across the
world, met many friends in the Wikimedia and the open knowledge community,
and had the privilege of working on many important projects both locally
and globally. The South Asian language Wikimedia communities that I have
worked with have not just been patient and understanding, but have been my
mentor in many ways. I thank you all wholeheartedly for being such great
friends and guides. And I hope that I have added some value to your
community, project and the larger Wikimedia movement.
This was an incredible journey and I feel really honored to see as many as
three new Wikimedia projects taking birth where I had a chance to
contribute. Many of you have shared your stories in an interview series
WikipediansSpeak [1] that I started during my time at CIS, and I felt so
touched and connected to many people that spoke languages that I never even
understood. I want to thank many Wikimedians both from the Indian and the
global Wikimedia community that participated in @WeAreWikipedia [2], a
rotation curation project on Twitter that I started as a voluntary project.
The good news is @WeAreWikipedia has always been and will be a
volunteer-led project even after I leave my professional role at CIS.
In the last few days of my work at CIS, my biggest worry was if I will be
able to give much time to wrap up Project Ol Chiki [3], a project to create
typeface family and input tools for the Ol Chiki script (used to write the
Santali language) that I was leading. I would like to personally thank to
colleagues T.Vishnuvardhan (former Programme Director of CIS-A2K) for his
guidance, Pooja Saxena for designing the typeface and several other
peripherals, Prof. Damayanti Besra and other friends of the
Santali-language community who have reviewed the typeface, and Wikimedians
Jnanaranjan Sahu and Nasim Ali who have created the input tools. A few
years of my childhood was spent in a place where 30% of people spoke this
aboriginal language Santali, and I cannot share how nostalgic it felt when
the opportunity came to lead this project.
Once again, thanks you all the friends in the Wikimedia community, and the
larger openness movement for your kind support over all these years. In the
long road, this was a great milestone but there are many more to come. I
hope to continue working with you in my volunteer capacity, and/or may be
in my new role.
Where I am heading next?
Some of you might know this already. I am super excited that the next
milestone is going to be another open source community as I am joining
Mozilla’s Participation team as South Asia Community Catalyzer [4]. I am
super excited for it. And I will keep seeing you all amazing people on the
Wikimedia projects like before.
Do feel free to get in touch with me in my talk page at User:Psubhashish,
or over email at psubhashish (at) gmail (dot) com, or at @subhapa on both
Twitter and Telegram.

Dear friends,
We are happy to share the consolidated newsletter for September 2016.
Another 5 Years: What Have We Learned about the Wikipedia Gender Gap and
What Has Been Done?
—Ting-Yi Chang (September 18, 2016)
Five years after Wikimedia Foundation's 2011 editor survey (
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Editor_Survey_Report_-_April_2011.p…)
was conducted and revealed the gender gap issue, scholars, practitioners,
and communities around the globe have come a long way to address the gender
imbalance of the online encyclopedia. This blog post series (of three
parts) serve as a summary of movements and discoveries about Wikipedia
gender gap on both local (India) and global scales.
"Our editing community continues to suffer from a lack of women editors.
only 8.5% of editors are women."
Probably the most cited statement for Wikipedia gender gap studies, the
editor survey conducted by Wikimedia Foundation in April 2011 revealed the
alarming imbalance within the online encyclopedia community(s). In the same
survey, the percentage of female Wikipedians in India is reported as only
3%. When we have repeatedly emphasized on the development and changes the
internet can bring to our societies, how do we ensure that behind our
computer screen it is not just another mirror reflecting what has been
silenced and forgotten?

(Ting-Yi Chang; September 1, 2016)
Karnataka is known for its diverse linguistic cultures. Aside from Kannada,
many are native speakers of Konkani, Tulu, and other languages. A small
Wikiwomen's meetup was held on Saturday, August 27th at St. Agnes College,
Mangalore, to invite female Wikipedians from the region. Many of them were
new to the online encyclopedia but demonstrated strong interest in learning
and contributing more Indic language content online.
* A workshop to improve Telugu Wikipedia articles on Nobel laureates (

(Pavan Santhosh; September 12, 2016)
Many articles about Nobel laureates are missing in the Telugu Wikipedia.
Recently undergraduate students from four different disciplines of the
