Hi Jayantilal,
Your suggestions are valid but not your accusations.
Please note that every board member who have served the board will deserve
a great salute from me for spending their volunteer time and so Srikanth
does. I'm sure the current EC will also agree though its been just 4-5
months. It's not a easy task. Also note that Srikanth has given some
splendid contributions to the movement. He is that person who will just
walk for whole day on road to upload toll and images on buses to Commons.
Everyone has right to quit as well for their own reasons with the approval
of the board. I think as now we have a new board, its time to support them
and the movement in India.

Hello WMIN & WLF team,
I suggest you to involve people from other communities who have organized
such events earlier.
I can help you with few names.
Ravishankar from Tamil Community
Naveen Francis and Kartik Nadar from Wiki Loves Monument.
Shantanu Chandra from Bengali Community.
Biswarup Ganguly who has 25000 plus edits on Commons.
*I also suggest everyone to not entertain people like Srikanth on this
list. *
Srikanth has no interest in Wikimedia India Chapter and that's why he
resigned from the EC.
He left the chapter in crisis. I still remember the thread "WMIN EC in
Minority" which Srikanth started on the mailing list. (You can check the
archives and you'll get to know what I'm talking about)
He along with his 2 friends (also Ex EC members) strategically stepped
down from the EC on the face of the previous elections and wanted to
dissolve the WMIN Chapter. Thanks to people like Viswa, Sudhanwa, Jayanta,
Ekbal & Nikita who saved the chapter at that time.
Good luck for the event.
Best Wishes,
Jayantilal

Hi Dhaval,
We apologize for not responding on your query on commons. If you see the
history on the discussion page, each and every question has been answered
by some or the other volunteer for WLF. I don't know how we missed it.
Regarding your question about why Wikimedia India is concerned, I suggest
you to check the word 'India' in Wikimedia India. As a chapter of India,
WMIN has a focus to involve each and every language community.
I don't see any harm if the organizers of the event calls one of the
volunteers. Also, you should understand that this is a community led event
& we would want the volunteers to initiate discussions in their respective
language groups.
Thanks,
Sanket Oswal

I also concur that the prize money should be
token for a pilot with 50
participants.
Also I have also suggested on the wiki that this is not related to
language but states.
Please do take into account wider feedback from this email trail into
account.
Good luck for the pilot.
Regards
Arun

Really, token prices can be understood, but in
thousands of Rs? The
money can be spent on better things imho.
