Tenth Anniversary Celebrations in Pune.
by Ashwin Baindur 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

To all Puneri Wikipedians (both tatya and non-tatya), Gosh, just saw the grand scale of events planned in Bangalore. Pune's missing on the list. We need to be on the world map guys. Has anyone planned anything? Our Marathi Wikipedia crowd? I suggest one or all or even better more of the following be organised : * Newbie meet (I volunteer to give an editing tutorial session in English cum Marathi by me but on English Wikipedia. I could be partnered by someone showing the same for Marathi Wikipedia). * Marathi Wikipedia Meetup. * Wikimedia loves Pune photothon, where people go and photograph Pune's landmarks and add them to Commons. * Outreach activities to schools/colleges? * Any takers for birdwatching a la Bangalore/Shyamal? Warm regards, Ashwin Baindur ------------------------------------------------------

Looking for Devanagri help - windows this time .
by shirish शिरीष 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

HI all, Because things are still a bit fresh in my mind, I tried to see how Indian languages performed both on windows box as well as on GNU/Linux. This mail would talk only about windows xp while another mail would give the issues in GNU/Linux. While I can't give screenshots atm, this is on a friend's system and he has the following browsers on the system :- a. Mozilla Firefox 4.0b7 (beta) b. Chrome 8.0 (stable) c. Opera 11 (newly released) We went through the whole she-bang at http://bit.ly/fCxKrf , also looked at the uniscribe stuff http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniscribe saw the discussion at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Uniscribe#Uniscribe_version_in_SIL_FieldW… Also looked at http://www.catch22.net/tuts/neatpad/11 and were still scratching our heads as to why we weren't able to see Devanagri in Google Chrome. We installed the font Rachana. Then we rebooted and in Firefox it renders but Google Chrome not getting anything. The USP.dll is at version 1.420.2600.2180 on my friend's system. This was done using the steps outlined at http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=ComplexRomanFontFAQ#uni… and looking at the version numbers at http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=UniscribeV… Looking for answers - it was fun. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17

Fwd: [WikiX-l] Truth in numbers
by Pradeep Mohandas 16 Dec '10

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jimmy Wales <jwales(a)wikia-inc.com> Date: 16 December 2010 18:24 Subject: Re: [WikiX-l] Truth in numbers To: Planning for WP 10th anniversary <wikix-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> I would just like to repeat that I think that this film should *not* be screened at Wikimedia 10th events. Many Wikipedians were offended by it when it showed at Wikimania. Liam Wyatt spoke up to say that he felt "attacked" by the film. It portrays completely ludicrous critics as if they are valid. (The guy from The Register appears in the film to be a serious journalist, but if you know his coverage of wikipedia, it has been extremely tabloid and conspiracy-theorist in nature). Rather than focussing attention on the wonderful community, the film leaves a sad and bitter taste in the mouth, is demeaning to volunteers, and rehashes debate points that are 5 years old. The world has moved on beyond Andrew Keen's pseudo-arguments. --Jimbo On 12/15/10 8:07 PM, Samuel Klein wrote: > An update for people interested in previewing or screening Truth in Numbers: > > Email info(a)crowdstarter.com with your interest.
