5. After the round of introductions, Hisham Mundol from the Wikimedia Foundation India
office provided an update.
5. a. He said that two members were added to office staff - Nitika Tandon and Shiju Alex.
Nitika would be working with the Pune Education Program. Shiju will join them in the end
of October.
5. b. He said that the Educations Program was successful. They expected 250 students but
have now got about 1000 students. They are working on how to manage this larger than
expected outcome. One of the things they are considering is having more Campus Ambassadors
in Pune.
5. c. The office is also (hopefully) to be registered as a public trust soon.Various
options were considered before they reached this decision. They are also looking for
premises in the National Capital Region.
(emphasis mine)
This is big news!
Thanks for the update, Pradeep.
5. d. Hisham introduced Nitika Tandon to the members present.
6. Nitika provided an update on the India Education Programme.
6. a. She said that she had recently taken up her work at posting in Pune.
6. b. She has also been talking to 2-3 colleges in Pune but they have been taking it slow
since they have to manage the current student count.
7. Hisham suggested that one of the star students is user:basic.atari
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Basic.atari) who has been great and requested
Mumbai community members to send him some wikilove. (How? - Once you log in, click on the
heart in the top right of the user page to whom you want to send wikilove and be led
through some steps to send people wikilove)
8. Achal gave a small talk on Oral Citations project. We were (Again) not able to show
the video.
8. a. Achal said that the Wikipedia before ~2004 did not have citations and they grew as
the Wikipedia project grew over the years.
8. b. He said citations currently was currently done from the publications industry which
has stronger and wider presence in European and North American countries.
8. c. This combined with the limitations on what are rules on what could get cited, could
be one of the reasons for decrease in the growth of new editors on Wikipedia.
8. d. The limitation on citation and deletion of articles without good citations turned
off new Wikipedia users and also took away some of the revolutionary ideas around which
Wikipedia was born. Other form of citations were thus to be considered.
8. e. Wikipedians in India and South Africa worked on the Oral Citations project -

9. The meeting was concluded at 6 pm.
