All,
As we all know, many of our Indic wikimedia projects have a very small
community and some of them does not even have an administrator around when
in need. I would like to draw your attention to the RfC for Indic
Sysops<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Indic_Sysop>,
a sysop group who could shoulder the additional responsibility of looking
after other Indic language wikis along with their current responsibilities.
I believe that it is a feasible idea, similar to that of a global sysop, as
many of us are multi-lingual within the Indic language group. We do not see
many Global sysops acting on Indic wikis, probably due to the non-latin
nature of the scripts. Perhaps, Indic languages could be the largest group
of languages in the spectrum to coordinate such a pool of hands due to the
above fact. This group's administrative scope is envisioned to include all
Indic wikimedia projects and it can exclude a project if they feel that they
are large enough to handle themselves.
We would like to see a constructive discussion on the pros and cons of this
and explore the possibility of implementing such a group. I wish to see the
day where our small, sleeping wikimedia projects, who does not have anyone
to care for being cared for, and nurtured to bring more hands on to help it
grow.
Thank you all for your time and please take a moment and provide your
thoughts on the RfC Talk page.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jyothis.

I am the first customer of http://www.netdotnet.com
woods are lovely dark and deep,
but i have promises to keep and
miles to go before i sleep and
lines to go before I press sleep
completion date = (start date + ((estimated effort x 3.1415926) / resources)
+ ((total coffee breaks x 0.25) / 24)) + Effort in meetings
This is an excellent idea - why not just place the current press kit at
presskit/en and then place the Hindi translation at presskit/hi?
(And likewise for any other translations?)
Hi folks,
I am in touch with a few folks and Wikipedians in Hyderabad for
a Wikimeetup @Hyd. Please* drop me a personal mail *to tinucherian ( at)
gmail ( dot) com , if you are interested, so that I can keep you also in
loop. Date & Venue is still being discussed.

Creative Commons has just put out a list of people it considers
'superheroes' https://creativecommons.net/superheroes/ - and of the six
people highlighted, one is our very own Gautam John, an initiator of the
Wikimedia India chapter. Congrats, and let's hope some of that superhero
super-dust falls on us too. Cheers,
