These are: a) A few more articles in development, which will be posted when done b) Transcripts of the audio interviews in Hindi, Sepedi and Malayalam, each accompanied by an English transcript (in development) c) An FAQ, where we can begin thinking collaboratively about ways in which an exercise like this could work/be made to work under existing policies within the Wikimedia movement, and Wikipedia specifically; as well as ways in which this project could be extended to think about sources and citations generally. --- Lastly, if you haven't had a chance to see the work of the project, you can do that here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Oral_Citations ...and if you would like to watch the film made during the course of the project, please check it out: on Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:People-are-Knowledge.ogv or on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/26469276 Cheers, Achal ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2011 19:16:05 -0700 From: Erik Moeller <erik(a)wikimedia.org> Subject: Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Welcome to the India Team! : Shiju & Nitika To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Message-ID: <CAEg6ZHmaDdNunU65LBR9t+jsZ8S-rBncP+Y4vbZa8uEGn6HiUg(a)mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Fantastic news - a warm welcome to both of you. :-) A small team, with the help of our vast community of volunteers, can make a huge difference.
