ਸਤ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ Punjabi Wikimedians,
The Project Tiger Writing Contest has started with great responses. A few
communities such as Tamil, Malayalam, and Punjabi are participating
enthusiastically.
We feel that real-life edit-a-thons might be a good way to encourage your
community members. If you are planning to have an offline edit-a-thon o
Project Tiger both financially and more important programmatically.
Note: Our budget for each offline event in India is ~8,000 INR.
It would be great if you could host an offline edit-a-thon for your
community.
Please contact tito(a)cis-india.org for questions.
Thanks
Tito Dutta
Note: If I don't reply to your email in 2 days, please feel free to remind
me over email or phone call.[image: beacon]

I would like to inform you that CIS-A2K is in process of writing 2018-2019
work-plan, and during the process we intend to start working with new
projects and language communities.
CIS-A2K team has earlier tried to collaborate with Indic communities on
other than Focused Language Area (FLA) in form of needs-based support,
skill building activities and outreach support.
Based on consistent feedback we have received from Indic WIkimedians and as
an effort to meaningfully increase our collaboration with the emerging
projects/ideas across Indic Wikimedia communities, CIS-A2K is introducing
Focus Project Areas (FPA) for the upcoming APG Plan 2018-19.
A2K team would like to engage with communities, individuals and Wikimedia
project related enthusiasts on a specific project/outcome basis (such as
Wikisource, Institutional Partnership, etc) for particular language
communities.
The projects and ideas will have to align with the strategic vision of the
Wikimedia Movement 2030[1] as well as the A2K team's vision plan. We invite
community representatives, user groups, individuals who are willing to join
hands with A2K team to write to tanveer(a)cis-india.org and tito(a)cis-india.org
for further discussions.
Regards,
Tanveer Hasan
