Hi,
WMIN chapter president Rahul Deshmukh attended Wikimania 2018 in Cape Town
without being selected for any type of scholarship. My question is why was
he sent to the conference depriving other community members from India who
were in the waiting list.
He spoke in the informal chairpersons' meetup for few minutes. The meeting
doesn't require president of the organization's presence, and already there
were 2 EC member of WMIN present, who could have attended the meeting.
To me, this is utter misuse of power and abuse of donation money.
Thanks,
Bodhisattwa

Fagu Baskey
<https://sat.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%B1%B5%E1%B1%AE%E1%B1%B5%E1%B1%B7%E1%B1%9…>
is a Wikimedian who edits on Santhali Wikipedia. Fagu is a school teacher
in a village school near Baripada in the Mayurbhaj district in the state of
Odisha. He is one of the few editors who worked on the incubator to make
Santhali Wikipedia live. He got to know about Wikipedia from his friend
User: R Ashwani Banjan Murmu and has since then been contributing to the
free-knowledge movement. Rarely having any access to a laptop, Fagu used to
edit on his mobile device until he received a laptop under Project Tiger.
Fagu's major edits are on Santali literature and he endeavours to document
much of Santhali heritage. Fagu believes by contributing to Wikipedia he is
serving the mission of increasing awareness for his language over the
internet. Fagu's major contribution has been towards Wikipedia however he
wishes to work on other projects like Wikimedia Commons, however limited
Internet bandwidth in his village has been restricting him.
If you know any Wikimedian whom you think should be featured, please feel
free to nominate or contact Abhinav Srivastav -
abhinav.srivastava(a)wikimedia.in.
Thanks,
Sanket

Subject: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Looking for Android users at your wiki
Hey folks,
We need your help. (I mean, really, I don’t think this will work without
you.) As you know, our readers mainly read the wikis on mobile phones, but
our editing tools are focused on desktop and keyboards. This will be a
problem for us in the long run: Wikipedia became a big thing because
everyone who read it could add information. If this is not true in the
future, we’ll have a harder time getting new editors. In the long run,
effective mobile editing is about our survival.
The Wikipedia Android app is going to try a couple of things to see if we
can get more people to start doing small tasks – adding or translating
short title descriptions.
I have two things to ask:
1) If you have an Android phone and can install the app, would you be
willing to test this yourself? We need to hear both from users who are
used to editing on mobile and desktop and from users who usually edit only
on desktop, so you don’t worry if you haven’t edited on mobile before.
Sign up here to help out:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScUj-8iCJf63OXEhMrtQCXfVksC8QF4sou…
2) Could you spread the word and the sign-up link in your local community?
It would be most appreciated.
If you have questions, then I think that posting them on the talk page at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Android_editing_features will be the best
way to reach the team. THANK YOU!
