Hello,
Some of you may have heard that there has been some reform in the board of
the Wikimedia India chapter, and that Wikipedians in India are being
increasingly encouraged to organize local community groups.
If it made sense, if there was interest, and if there were 3 or so
Wikipedians living in Kolkata who wanted to apply, a local "user group" for
Bengali/Bangla speaking Wikipedians could be created. Some instructions for
starting a group are here.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Step-by-step_user_group_creation_guide>
The major advantage of having a user group is making a place were anyone
can organize to create events and request small grants and funding.
If this happened, then this project could be part of that group, and also
link to instructions in Bangla for how anyone in Bengal can apply for
funding to host projects in India. Having a group may make it easier to
partner with Wikimedia Bangladesh.
I hardly understand the community organization system in either India or
Bangladesh because I live in the United States and have only visited the
region, but I find Bengali culture attractive and would like to see this
part of the world get as much international support to do outreach and
projects as it can manage.
Good luck in these events!
yours,
