Dear all,
I hope you are doing well. Glad to announce that CIS-A2K is going to
conduct an event, Indic Wiki improve-a-thon 2022, for the Indic language.
It will run from 15 December to 5 January 2023. It will be an online
activity however if communities want to organise any on-ground activity
under Improve-a-thon that would also be welcome. The event has its own
theme Azadi Ka Mahatosav which is based on a celebration of the 75th
anniversary of Indian Independence. The event will be for 20 days only.
This is an effort to work on content enrichment and improvement jointly
online and offline. We encourage the communities to plan a short activity
under this event and work on the content on your local Wikis. The event is
not restricted to a project, anyone can edit any project by following the
theme. The event page link is here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Indic_Wiki_Improve-a-thon_2022>. The list
is under preparation and will be updated soon. The community can also
prepare their list for this improve-a-thon.
'''Note''': There will be a pre-event call on Saturday. During the call, we
can discuss the idea of the event, how communities and individuals can
participate, FAQ etc.
