What do you mean by this? I Shiju Alex is a Indic language wikipedian now
close to 6 years. According to Mr. Anirudh (an EC member of India chapter) I
am a former volunteer. is this is the official position of wikimedia India
chapter? As a community member I require an explanation for this.
Dear Shiju & subha,
Both of you need to differentiate between paid and volunteered works.
you can still volunteer for many things in your individual capacity .
Only two of you need to define which one is a part of job and which
one is in your volunteer capacities. I think India programme reports
only need to highlight the official part more clearly with specific
involvement. Volunteering can go as a part of community/chapter
reports .
Hope it is clear now
