ਸਤ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ Punjabi Wikimedians
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

Dear Indic Wikimedians,
As you are all aware, WMF and CIS-A2K have come together in a
partnership with Google to launch a pilot project to address local
online knowledge content gaps in India. In order to engage and support
active Wikipedia volunteers to produce valuable new content in local
Indian languages, we are conducting a needs assessment survey. The aim
of this survey is to understand the needs of the Indic Wikimedia
community and ascertaining their infrastructure requirements that we can
fulfill during the course of this project. Please help us by
participating in the survey below:

We request you to share this survey across your communities, user groups
and network of fellow Indic Wikimedians.
Please do share your valuable suggestions with us and sign up on the
meta page below:
