Hello,

We are glad to inform you that Project Tiger 2.0/GLOW is going to start very soon. You know about Project Tiger first iteration where we saw exciting and encouraging participation from different Indian Wikimedia communities. To Know about Project Tiger 1.0 please see this page - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Supporting_Indian_Language_Wikipedias_Program

Like project Tiger 1.0, This iteration will have 2 components
  1. Infrastructure support - Supporting Wikimedians from India with internet support for 6 months and providing Chrome books.
  2. Article writing contest - A 3-month article writing contest will be conducted for Indian Wikimedians communities. Following community feedback, we noted some community members wanted the process of article list generation to be improved. In this iteration there will be at least two lists of articles a) Google-generated list, b) community suggested a list. Google generated list will be given to the community members before finalising the final list. On the other hand, the community may create a list by discussing among the community over Village pump, Mailing list and similar discussion channels.
