Localisation of the languages of India
by Gerard Meijssen 31 Dec '07

31 Dec '07

Hoi, India is a big country populated by many people speaking many languages. It is no surprise that there are many wikipedias in languages spoken in India. As you are active in organising a chapter for the Wikimedia Foundation, I want to ask your collaboration on the localisation for the Indian languages in MediaWiki. When you look at the statistics for the localisation of MediaWiki and its extensions, you will find that the Indian languages are not really supported. This in marked contrast with the experience when you visit for instance the hi.wikipedia.org. I want to ask you to collaborate on the central localisation of MediaWiki in the "BetaWiki". Central localisation has big advantages, a user interface will be properly supported in all Wikimedia Foundation projects and the language will also be supported in Wikis outside of the Wikimedia Foundation. At the moment more then hundred MediaWiki extensions are supported in MediaWiki. Some are of specific importance for projects or languages. As BetaWiki is appreciated more and more as the place to be for MediaWiki localisation, this number grows and with it the potential for collaboration. The first step is to import the existing localisation from your active projects in to BetaWiki. The next step is to make sure that all the messages do not contain information that is specific to Wikipedia so that it is indeed useful in other projects. Localisation of MediaWiki is important and this makes it a requirement for new projects in a language. What is of more relevance is that it is easier to edit a Wiki when the user interface is consistent from one project to the next. When we make it easier for people to read and edit MediaWiki, we will grow the community of people that make our projects a success. Thanks, GerardM http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Main_Page BetaWiki http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Group_statistics Statistics

Inaccurate India maps on Wikis
by Hari Prasad Nadig 29 Dec '07

29 Dec '07

The India map on several Wiki projects have the borders depicted wrongly. The disputed areas between neighbouring nations seem to have been ripped off from the map. One such instance is this: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Bangalore_in_India.png We ought to make sure that the usage of such incorrect maps are discouraged. Anyone interested to volunteer in getting the maps corrected all over? - Hari Prasad

Wikimania 2009
by Akash 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Hi all. Bids for Wikimania 2009 are going to open on Saturday. There is already an unofficial India bid made at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2009/India. Should we bid for Wikimania? By that time we should (hopefully) have an active India chapter and more people too. Take a look at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2009 for more details. For all those who are not aware - Wikimania is the annual conference of the Wikimedia foundation. Wikimania 2007 was held in Taipei, Taiwan and was attended by close to 500 people. Wikimania 2008 is going to be held in Alexandria, Egypt (home to the first library in the world). Do think and write your suggestions regarding Wikimania in India. We can then decide a city and make the official bid. Akash

Dear Nicolas, It is interesting to know that there are more active wikipedians from Ahamadabad. Can you give the pointer to the city-wise statistics of the wikipedians ? Regards, Vijay Barve

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Update on the India chapter
by BalaSundaraRaman 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

Hi Nicholas, Can you please state where the discussion regarding membership and such happened and who the active members you mentioned are? I might've missed something. As far as I remember you asked in this list about willingness to join and several people including me had expressed interest. I noticed Utcursch's comparison of Trusts and Societies. Apart from these, I'm not aware of any discussion that happened. I think that the Wikimedia chapter needs to have sufficient representation from as many Indian wikipedias as possible. Can we please have a detailed update in this list and the meta pages? Regards, Sundar "That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted." - George Boole, quoted in Iverson's Turing Award Lecture

Trust vs Society : Consensus favours the trust model 2. As many active wikipedians are based in Ahmadabad, the chapter will be registered there. 3. By-laws are up on < http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_India/bylaws>. Please do join in the discussions there. It is scheduled to be closed on the 15th of December. Regards, --Nicholas
