Dear all:
I heard of the GLAM initiative from Nitika and team, when they visited Goa
during their previous trip, and facilitated by friends at Goa University,
the Krishnadas Shama Central Library (Panjim), etc.
Of course, a lot more work is to go into this, but as the starting point, I
just thought of listing some prominent institutions here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Galleries,_Libraries,_Museums_and_Arch…
All the information is not yet complete... and some institutions are yet to
get their own pages. But maybe a start. Can you offer any pointers as to
how we could get more relevant information about these GLAMs onto the
Wikipedia? Any pages one could check up for guidance? FN

Hi all,
I had introduced myself sometime back in the same mailing list, but just
incase I am not remembered, here I introduce myself again.
I am Priyanka Nag, a post graduation student in Symbiosis Institute of
Computer Studies and Research. I am a OPW intern under Wikimedia.
As a part of my internship, I need to implement a feature on the Bengali,
Hindi and Marathi Wikipedia. It is the citation option which is present on
the English Wikipedia but missing from most other Wikipedias (actually
present in none of the Indic language Wikipedia(s)). I was trying to get
this feature up in the Bengali, Hindi and Marathi Wikipedia (only reason I
chose these are because these are the only Indic languages I understand).
To get this done, I will either need the admin rights to these Wikipedias
or need help from the admins to get this feature up. I will need it going
as soon as possible. Can anyone please help me out with the same?
I will also need someone to translate a few strings in Hindi and Marathi
for the Citation template as I am not strong enough in these languages as
to trust my own translations. There are not many strings, just a few ones
in a single file. I can pass on the JavaScript file with the strings if
anyone can help translating them.

Hi All
If someone localize the Gadget from English Wikipedia and works fine on one Indic wikipedia should port in every Indic Wikipedia. So that every Indic wiki can use that particular feature. That helps a lot to Editors on Indic Wiki.
Porting Gadget will take 2 to 5 minutes for admins.
Thanks
Harsh
