Hello everyone,
I think the time has come to assume good faith and let the office bearers get their act together. We have had enough emails expressing the community's concerns at lack of transparency, lack of communication, etc, etc. The new office bearers are in an un-envious position. I'm sure that they must now be feeling that all the work of putting up a chapter is a thankless job. It was an important task and let us recognise that tackling any state bureaucracy is not an occupation of pleasure. So let us thank them for doing this task and ask them to henceforth function in a manner which meets the concerns
of the community.
Many thanks for this, Ashwin. Following your lead and now that the India chapter is a legal entity all set to go, I have - like you - put up my expectations from the chapter on:
http://www.wikimedia.in/wiki/Expectations_from_India_chapter#List
It would be great if others could also record their expectations on the wiki as a way to constructively communicate these to the chapter.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to place on record that I have high hopes for the Wikimedia India chapter - and would be happy to provide support to it in whatever way I can.
Best to all, Bishakha
