Hi Dwaipayan C,

Whatever has happened, do we have any other editor who
is somewhat
experienced and willing to take the responsibility of the coordinator of
the weekly collaboration?
There is not many nominations in the page. Although "The Special User"
could be a good coordinator, apparently he is taking a wiki break. And the
other candidate, Kruttika, I feel does not have enough experience in
en.wikipedia.
I was thinking if both of them can work together as Coordinator and
c-coordinator???? Fine? On the process, Krutikka would also learn, and
yeah, TheSpecialUser looks for me as the best candidate.
Thanks!
Anyone else interested?
Regards,
Dwaipayan Chakraborti

Hi Hari, Arun, Pratik, Srikanth, Karthik,
Similar to the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:INCOTM/ project,
we
run a project in Tamil Wikipedia called
Colloboration of the Week. I was
co-ordinating it for few months. When I got busy, I intentionally let it
unupdated for a week to see it picked up by another Wikipedian. He was
also the guy most involved in this project from the beginning. I asked
him
if he is willing to take the responsibility and
he said yes. That's it. I
have seen many such smooth handovers for various jobs done in our
Wikipedia.
In this context, I was surprised why Pratik calls this a "post" and had
to
send a "resignation note" to the larger
mailing list and open
"nominations"
for successors. May be it is En Wiki practice but
I found this too
complicated for a simple situation.
If one cannot find a suitable coordinator from the members of the project
listed at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:INCOTM/Members
I wonder how a newcomer to the project will be fit to coordinate it.
This is a regular Wikipedia activity which is best managed within talk
pages and project noticeboards. This isn't a photo walk or a Wiki
workshop
to hope if more people can join us through
mailing lists. Even if you go
by
that logic, if every regional Wikipedia starts
mailing this list for
coordinating on wiki tasks, then it will be total mess.
I respect every one's opinion that mails like these are within the scope
of
> this list. If I continue to find such mails, I will simply unsubscribe :)
