Dear All,
I need to write about Wikipedia in India. Need to know about access and content creation with an Indian angle. Are Indian surfers using Wiki a lot? Any statistics would help (growth over past few years)
Similarly do Indians create/contribute content? What is your take on Indian languages?
Feel free to include any other topic related to Wiki-India.
Your input will be of great help for the chapter I am writing in a book.
Please feel free to directly write to me.
regards,
Hi Mahesh:
I need to write about Wikipedia in India. Need to know about access and content creation with an Indian angle. Are Indian surfers using Wiki a lot? Any statistics would help (growth over past few years)
Some places to start would be:
http://stats.wikimedia.org/ and http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/Sitemap.htm
The India Community Newsletter is also a great resource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_India_Community_Newsletter_2010_...
As is this: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Stu/comScore_data_on_Wikimedia#China.2C_...
Good luck and please do post the piece once it is published!
Thank you.

I look forward for more inputs for other members

Hi all,
Gautam, sorry for jumping on the thread. hmmm.... tried the newsletter to know more about the community one but doesn't open, it says needs a password. A community newsletter needing a password ?
As is this: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Stu/comScore_data_on_Wikimedia#China.2C_...
That would be interesting to see as well.
Good luck and please do post the piece once it is published!

I used that download link couple of times. The issue was at my end. For some reason the download was cutting of some bytes and my pdf reader was not getting it that this file is corrupted. Tried some other utilities and came to know that its a download issue, took some other tools, got a good download, reading it as we speak. Now have to report the bugs :P
What they say, thanx for all the fish and chips (insert pav bhaji where fish is - Veg )
warm regards, Pradeep
