If you could mention your home wiki and your contributions to WikiMedia foundation wiki projects (both inside and *outside wiki*) there, that will enlighten many of us.

Or is this a special chapter for wikimedia English projects? I recently learned someone as wikimedia indic chapter director from linkedin (http://in.linkedin.com/in/kiruba). He is also being CEO, Founder, Co-Founder, Director of many other initiatives (Actually I don't have any problem about that). I am thinking about that election process and members. I am sorry but frankly I don't know any of other guys also. If possible introduce them, and their home wiki. I wish, an informed community about any further steps. If someone can clarify my thoughts originated from poor knowledge, I'll be more happy.

Please provide your invaluable comments and suggestions on the relevant talk page:http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_India/MoA. However, given the time we have spent on the document, it is important that we proceed quickly and hence, I suggest that the comments be made on or before this Saturday, the 13th of March 2010. Let us maintain the Wiki-etiquette expected out of us during the discussion. People curious about the earlier and the current efforts at forming the India chapter may find my blog post on it,http://hpnadig.net/blog/2010/03/08/wikimedia-india/563 a complimenting read. More on Wikimedia India chapter can be seen onhttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_India. Let us look forward to a great response in discussing and debating the MoA of the proposed Wikimedia India chapter. -- Hari Prasad Nadighttp://hpnadig.net | http://twitter.com/hpnadighttp://flickr.com/hpnadig _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing listWikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.orghttps://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l -- -- [image: Wikipedia Affiliate Button]<http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Support_Wikipedia/en> _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There have been multiple efforts in the past with good intentions but hasn't resulted in successful formation of the chapter. The current effort and the team is quite committed to getting that done. I was associated wit the effort but ran ahead of myself. Please discount any of the fancy titles and I apologise for that. The current team will throw more light on the process of chapter formation.

Or is this a special chapter for wikimedia English projects?The page on meta wiki has had discussions for setting up the Wikimedia India chapter since 2005. This is not something that has happened over last year, but a continued effort from what were several failed attempts earlier. I have jotted down a brief note on the progress which can be read here: http://hpnadig.net/blog/2010/03/08/wikimedia-india/563 But over the last one year, the people involved have shown tremendous commitment and worked hard, which is why we are here today at a stage where constitution of the chapter has now been placed before the community for their comments. We reasonably expect that the membership would change as per the charter in order to facilitate the will of the community.
