COVID-19 support for Indian volunteers
by Jayanta Nath 01 May '21

01 May '21

Hello Wikimedians, We are all passing through a very difficult time as the second wave of COVID-19 has hit hard throughout the country. It is a bitter and hard truth that many of us have lost our loved ones, close friends, relatives, neighbours already. Some of us have faced economic difficulties due to loss of jobs, losses in businesses, huge hospitalization expenses etc. In the midst of this crisis, a support program has been initiated to provide some reliefs to our Wikimedia volunteers residing in India. The program will support the following - 1. Reimbursement of vaccination costs 2. Sending of COVID-19 protection kits 3. Counseling by experts The support will be provided by CIS-A2K. The vaccination expenses will be reimbursed as early as April 30, 2021. The COVID-19 protection kits will get couriered within a week or more, depending on various logistical factors. The team will try to support the more vulnerable section of the community first. Volunteers are requested to fill up this Google Form to request support - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScYcjEeuT7vUxP3NJg7KfIiZaude9IXLyC… If you do not need this kind of support but you know some volunteers from your community who are in dire need, you can nominate them too through this form or mail the support team directly. Affiliate contacts and community leaders are also kindly requested to help identify the volunteers who need the support the most. You can find more details about the support program here - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_support_for_Wikimedians/India Please read the FAQ subpage too - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_support_for_Wikimedians/India/FAQ The support team would also like to emphasise that, a) there might be some delay in sending support as there are lockdowns in different parts of the country and there is scarcity or non-availability of different items in the market, b) there might be some unintentional or unexpected errors from the team, as this is the first time, this kind of support is being set up for Indian Wikimedia volunteers and the team does not have prior experience to deal with this kind of global health situation before. c) the team members are also facing the same critical situation like everyone else; there are possibilities that they can become sick sooner or later, which might hamper the support to some extent. That's why the team would like to request you to understand the limitations and assume good faith that any failure to serve sometimes would be due to situations beyond control. If you want to contact us directly for any questions, concerns, suggestions, help etc. you can mail us directly at wmwm(a)cis-india.org . Let's join hands to overcome this situation. Regards, Jayanta On behalf of the COVID-19 support team

Wikimedia Research Needs Assessment
by Jayanta Nath 23 Jan '21

23 Jan '21

Dear All, The Access to Knowledge (A2K) team at CIS has been engaged with work on research on Indian language Wikimedia projects as part of the APG since 2019. This year, following up on our learnings from work so far, we are undertaking a needs assessment exercise to understand a) the awareness about research within Indian language Wikimedia communities, and identify existing projects if any, and b) to gather community inputs on knowledge gaps and priority areas of focus and the role of research in addressing the same. We would therefore request interested community members to respond to the needs assessment questionnaire here: https://forms.gle/2xGAUBKSVJTK7Wks9 Please respond in any Indian language as suitable. The deadline for this exercise is February 20, 2021. For any queries do write to us on the CIS-A2K research talk page here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:CIS-A2K/Research User:Jayanta (CIS-A2K) Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) Access to Knowledge

Introducing Diff – a blog by and for the Wikimedia volunteer community
by Chris Koerner 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

Hello, Today the Wikimedia Foundation would like to introduce a new community blog. It's called "Diff" (diff.wikimedia.org) and is a blog by – and for – the Wikimedia volunteer community to connect and share learnings, stories, and ideas from across our movement. We'd like to encourage you to learn more about Diff and how it can help you in sharing and learning from your fellow Wikimedians. Everyone is invited to contribute! https://diff.wikimedia.org/2020/07/14/welcome-to-diff-a-community-blog-for-… The name “Diff” is in reference to the wiki interface that displays the difference between one version and another of a Wikipedia page. It also reflects the “difference” our communities and movement make in the world every day. For some background, Diff builds on lessons and experiences from the Wikimedia Blog, the Wikimedia Foundation News, and Wikimedia Space; previous posts from these channels are archived on Diff. The channel is primarily intended for community-authored posts, in which volunteers can share their stories, learnings, and ideas with each other. Diff offers a simple and accessible editorial process, moderated by Foundation communications staff and open to volunteers, to encourage participation from all — especially emerging and under-represented communities. Additionally, content on Diff can be written and translated into languages to reach a wide audience. Diff also has a code of conduct and comments can be flagged and moderated. Still curious to learn more? https://diff.wikimedia.org/2020/07/14/welcome-to-diff-a-community-blog-for-… Yours, Chris Koerner (he/him) Community Relations Specialist Wikimedia Foundation

Hi Assamese Wikisource Community, As COVID-19 has forced the Wikimedia communities to stay at home and like many other affiliates, CIS-A2K has decided to suspend all offline activities till 15th September 2020 (or till further notice).I present to you for an online training session for future coming months. 1. Wikisource Skill Share,[1] a capacity-building initiative, where Indic Wikisource contributors, both newcomers and experienced, can share knowledge and skills with each other and clear confusions. Most of the time, it will be done online on 1:1 basis, so it is just the right time to participate there if you have not planned to do it or done it already. Let's learn Wikisource together! I would like to invite experienced Indic Wikisource contributors and sign your name at Willing to respond section [2]. Newcomer or any Indic Wikisource contributors are welcome to join the session with your queries and doubts. 2. Intensive Personalized Training (or IPT),[3] this also a capacity-building initiative, where Indic Wikisource contributors, especially newcomers could come with his/her queries and doubts. I, myself will share my knowledge and skills with each contributor and clear confusions. It will be done online on a 1:1 basis, so it is just the right time to participate there if you have not planned to do so. 3. Online Proofread-edithon for all 12 Indic Wikisource language projects. We are planning for an indic level online proofreadthon from 1 May 2020 to 10 May 2020. The book of the subject will be the classical literature of your languages. We’ll share details about this in a separate email in a couple of days.

Hello all, I was a Wikipedian in Mumbai who moved to Pune this year.
