Hello,
Thank you. I'll try to answer below:
"Why are jury members being invited": Jury plays an important role in an
edit-a-thon, assessing/cleaning up tens or hundreds of articles. Their
opinion specially assessment-experience are important as well. Hence we
have thought to invite a very few jury members from community. Although
note that the main participants will be the article writers/participants of
the edit-a-thon.
"How you people are selecting 20 participants?"
This is 2 top contributors * number of communities .
The criteria is: top performers in Project Tiger edit-a-thon from different
communities. It is generally top 2, if any of these 2 don't reply or can
not participate, we are inviting the next person. In an attempt to bridge
gender gap, we would like to ensure more women participation.
The participants are selected based on their contribution to the
edit-a-thon.
Thanks
Tito Dutta

Hello Gopala,
I really admire this initiative though doesn’t understand the criteria of
how you people are selecting 20 participants? and some of extent agrees
with Abhinav of inviting the subsequent participant by the order of rank
or inviting some senior community members as it will be helpful for
community consultation program.
Hoping a successful event and feeling pride to be a contributor for the
same.
Best Regards,

Hello Gopal,
The final result of the Project Tiger has a highly volatile result, some
communities have done remarkably well in terms of metrics while some
haven’t. The idea of giving preference to women participants is a welcome
step.
However, why the idea of inviting jury? The role of jury in this exercise
was narrow, limited and not even inviting any hard decisions. It is my
personal observation that inviting the subsequent participant by the order
of rank or inviting some senior community member with community consensus
could be a better idea.
Perhaps, the jury who worked on computer and internet scholarship could be
invited.

Hello,
I would like to give an update regarding this. In this event we are
expecting total 20 participants. So far only 10 people confirmed their
participation.
From each community we are inviting two participants. Those two
participants are the top three performers (Indians Wikipedians) of Project
tiger edit-a-thon 2018. We are planning to invite jury members where ever
top contributors of the highest performed language can not attend. Also, we
are giving preference to women participants.
