Hello friends,
This is a link I recommend you to bookmark.
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Geographical_distribution_of_Indian_Wikipedians
This list is useful for outreach & also whenever someone needs Wiki-Help in
a particular city. It would be great if Wikipedians could update this
list.:)
We have the following completely unrepresented states/UTs:
* Andaman & Nicobar Islands
* Arunachal Pradesh
* Assam
* Chandigarh
* Chhattisgarh
* Dadra, Nagar & Haveli
* Daman & Diu
* Goa
* Himachal Pradesh
* Jammu & Kashmir
* Jharkhand (AngPradesh is in Mumbai)
* Lakshadweep
* Manipur
* Meghalaya
* Mizoram
* Puducherry
* Punjab (oye, ye ki hoya!)
* Nagaland
* Uttar Pradesh
* Uttarakhand
Okay, all you admins, please update your status (Mikey my boy, that means
you too)!
Abroad, we dont have Indic Wikipedians listed for:
* Africa
* Australia
* Asia (other than India)
* Middle East
* North America
* South America
Unless you would like to stay off list, of course that's acceptable too.
May I also request Tinu / list admins to please forward it all the Indic
language & city Wikimedia lists. We need this resource to be as
comprehensible as possible.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Hello,
For a year or more I have been looking for an individual grant to buy a
simple image scanner.
My most recent application was at Ta Wikipedia
<https://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95…>
>From that application:, I need a scanner regularly, so I would not be able
to do all works in a particular period (for example, someone says, "take a
scanner for two weeks and return after that)
Can anyone give me oive me one?
Hi,
I have received request to conduct Wikipedia Workshop in Nashik in first

Kindly let me know if someone from Nashik wants to volunteer.

Hello my name is arun
I am doing one opensource project from last two years contents and code is
purley licenced under creative commons licence i am trying to write one
article in wiki from last few months but it is getting deleted again and
again
I am looking support from this community to place that article in place
It is basically is an open learning system. And how do you benefit? With an
open learning system, a database of notes and study materials from many
different branches of education are at your disposal to provide good
quality study material, as supplied by learners and if we're fortunate,
lecturers as well. This can reduce the cost of books by 86.5%. Open library
is an online library management system with a global index. When using this
system learners can avoid the time they need to spend at the library
browsing books. This can also be effective travel, as people and the
libraries can exchange the books among them as per their interest. Review
is editable by everyone so that there will be a good review will be formed.
Librarians are able to communicate with users so that the loss of books can
be avoided. Who is responsible for this? Eduladder is a group of teachers,
programmers, students and people like you, who believe education should be
free and accessible for everyone. We believe the cost of education can be
reduced through technology, so we have dedicated our youth to sustaining
and developing an open learning system and by using creative commons
license so assure the commercial use of data is avoided legally.
