Subject: [WikiConference India 2020] Community Engagement Survey
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is doing great.
I am writing this email to invite you all to participate in the Community
Engagement Survey for WikiConference India 2020. The Community Engagement
Survey is one of the key requirements for drafting the Conference & Event
Grant application for the Wikimedia Foundation.
The survey will have questions regarding a few demographic details, your
experience with Wikimedia, challenges and needs, and your expectations for
WCI 2020. The responses will help us to form an initial idea of what is
expected out of WCI 2020, and draft the grant application accordingly.
Please note that this will not directly influence the specificities of the
program, there will be a detailed survey to assess the program needs after
funding.
Please fill the survey at; https://forms.gle/YkA9UfcbXo3c637M6. The survey
will be open until 23:59 hrs of 22 December 2019.
Please pass on this message to your community mailing lists, and it would
be great if you post on the Village Pumps of your local Wikis. Looking
forward to all of your active participation.
Let me know if there are any questions.
Best wishes,
Pavan Santhosh.

Hello everyone,
We have a few updates regarding the WikiConference India 2020 proposal for
Hyderabad. Initial conversations around the proposal of conducting Wiki
Conference India 2020 in Hyderabad were started in earlier this month in
several Indian wikimedia spaces (Wikimedia India-l mailing list, Meta-Wiki,
and, several Indian language Wikipedias village pumps).
Firstly, we are happy to share the news that there has been a very good
positive response from individual Wikimedians[1]. Also there have
community-wide discussions on local Village Pumps on various languages.
Several of these discussions have reached consensus[2], and are supporting
this idea.
We will be engaging with more communities this week, and clear any
concerns/doubts people may have during this week. Also to wrap up these
discussions and conclude, we would like to call for IRC.
Details of IRC:
* Timings and Date: 6:00 pm on 20 November 2019
* Website: https://webchat.freenode.net/
* Channel: #wci
Looking forward for all your active participation.
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan Santhosh.

Dear All,
We all know that Wikisource is one of the trending Wikimedia projects. We
are getting many new editors and new books to Indic language Wikisource's.
At the same time, we even noticed that there are many problems faced by the
new editors and a few of the existing editors. To help all of the editors
we have created a Handbook titled as *Wikisource Handbook for Indic
communities
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikisource_Handbook_for_Indian_Comm…>.
*Which is now available[1] to everyone to make the best use of it. I
request everyone to share this with all those who are in need of support in
editing Wikisource.
Authors of the book: Bodhisattwa Mandal and Ananth Subray P V.
