Subha,

I am keeping my fingers crossed for the next pilot from India programs :)

These are normal things which the community can do by itself even if it is very small. We did this in Tamil Wikipedia 7 years before.

1. Create help pages in "Help" namespaces. This is time consuming and ongoing. Creating video tutorials will be best.

2. Create a Wikipedia:Help desk page and link it from site notice. If the community is OK, they can also share few chat / mail / phone IDs there.

That should be all and both can only be done by the community.

The elaborate planning at

is unnecessary and will only increase the work load of an already small community.

I hope the money we donate goes in to doing bigger things and not for every single thing done in the name of "Pilot".

Ravi
