Dear Indian Wikimedians
Making Wikimedia events a friendly, welcoming environment in which all
users can interact fruitfully, learn from each other and inspire each
other, is a goal we all share. The Wikimedia Foundation currently is
looking into supporting this goal with an improved Friendly space policy,
specifically tailored to our big international events. We will build the
policy in a way that it will also serve as a minimal standard for all
Foundation supported events.
We do not want to build this new policy without input from the Indian
communities and we thought you as well as other Indian Wikimedians working
in your language versions could just be the persons to have ideas or
comments we need to hear. Please visit the consultation page on meta [1],
leave your input and spread the word to other Wikimedians! You are very
welcome to leave ideas and comments in other languages than English, please
use the language you feel comfortable expressing yourself.
We are also looking for help in translating the consultation page and also
this message. So if you could help with this or spread the word we need
help translating, we will also be grateful!
Of course you are also welcome to come back to us via email with any
questions you have.
Hoping to hear from you on Meta,
Christel
