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.

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.
