Dec workshop in Pune referred to below.

Subject: Your session at Filmi Chashma Workshop
To: Bishakha Datta <bishakhadatta(a)gmail.com>
Dear Bishakha
This is further to our telephone talk on Saturday regarding the Filmi
Chashma Workshop for school teachers. Please have a look at
www.filmichashma.org for an overview of the project
To go over the workshop requirements:
Your session, scheduled 2.00 to 3.30pm on Thursday 25 Nov, will be on
" Intro to the phenomenon of the wiki world, finding what you need in
the wiki world and contributing what you know back to it." Beyond the
utility of it please bring out the philosophy, the altruism and
self-correcting mechanisms and all the things that make it an
authentic upto-the-moment encyclopedia. Please also encourage them and
their students to contribute to it, particularly in Indian languages.
A visit to teh Hindi and Marathi wikipedias would be good.
Plus we want you to please address another similar meeting in Pune on
17 Dec at 11.45 to 1.15. Please tell me if you are free to make a
trip.
The venue as you know, is in the conference room on 6th floor of the
Times of India Building opposite VT station.
Thank you and looking forward to an exciting time!
Chandita
