hi,
I know there are a few Sourcers in India. I hope you are on the international wikisource-l? At the last Wikimania, a few Sourcers had put together a roadmap for WikiSource that would make it more useful as a whole. Here's the link for the same - http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_roadmap
The link has been around for quite some time. Just sharing here to make sure that people across communities know about it. Please let the Sourcers in your community who may not be on this list know, please?
warm regards,
Pradeep

Hello Wikimedia India,
fyi, ops/legal at WMF acquired the domain:
http://indiawikipedia.com
and redirects it (for now) to:
http://wikimedia.in/wikipedia.html
It was a really old ticket on our side to get that domain name and it
went through legal, then we had it for a while but never redirected it
anywhere, and now we just decided to use the target above because that
seemed to make the most sense.
(after all it is indiawikiPedia.com and not indiawikiMedia.com)
A long term goal i suggested would be to get wikipedia.in as well and
redirect it there.
A little while ago, like end of February, that was still active but
full of advertising, and now it's disappeared.
If you have any comments/questions/ideas you can open a Bugzilla ticket
or even look at the Apache config directly and suggest changes. Please
mention "RT-1395" for reference.
The relevant changes are:

Best regards,
Daniel

(cross-posting to wikimediaindia-l and the OpenHatch events list)
I recently read a thought-provoking piece, "The Bardoli Incident," by a
Gujarati open source software contributor.[0] It's a moving story of
hospitality to newbies and I wanted to share it with you.
I especially appreciate that Pradeepto Bhattacharya personally took it
upon himself to stop newbie attrition at the event. My Indian parents
taught me a heritage of hospitality, as I remembered in "Be Bold: An
Origin Story".[1] So this kind of heroism, the heroism of the host,
speaks deeply to me.
It's a tough balance, respecting each participant's right to drop out
while ensuring they know that we want them to stay. I think
Bhattacharya got it right by asking honest questions and adapting the
newbies' experience. Maybe other event organizers reading this have had
similar experiences?

Hi there, wikimediaindia-l!
I've found the short guide to "Program evaluation basics" helpful to me.
You can start with "why evaluate in the first place?" and continue with
"Efficiency, effectiveness and impact," "The 'Program Impact Model',"
and a glossary and a short list of recommended reading.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Program_evaluation_basics:_why_evaluate_in_…
I especially appreciated the diagram at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Program_evaluation_basics:_the_program_impa…
. I like having words for the different parts of evaluation, especially
to clarify the difference between inputs and activities, between outputs
and outcomes, and between outcomes and impact. For instance, my group
has, in the past, found that our outputs from specific events or other
activities were reasonably adequate, but didn't lead to sufficient
outcomes, or to impact.
I bring this up on wikimediaindia-l partly because I see so many
post-event reports here that often mention specific outputs (like my own
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Berlin_Hackathon_2012/Retrospective ),
and want to encourage organizers to also specifically emphasize outcomes
and impact.
best,
Sumana
