Subject: Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Subject-based books of Wikipedia content
Hello sir,
I am glad you took such a step. I am a student of the Indian Institute of Science
Education and Research (IISER)- mohali. Presently I am in first year. I have been doing
some work in the field of education for past 3 years but I was really active only in the
past year. I would like to help you in chalking out a syllabus suitable for many state
boards and the central boards. This attempt might work very well in english itself though
publication in hindi would not be a bad idea either. However I doubt if some agency would
be supporting this initiative. I can try to talk to some officials nearby but the problem
is that I do not have proper credentials to represent any body. However, I will try to do
whatever I can. Let me know, if I can be of some use.

I'm User:Walkerma from the English
Wikipedia. I've been working for some
time on producing offline collections of Wikipedia content
from the
English
Wikipedia. We're currently looking at the possibility
of subject-based
books (e.g., on topics such as mammals or chemistry) for
schools, using an
affordable local printer.
Working with PediaPress I put together a "taster" example
on chemistry,
which is available here:
http://pediapress.com/files/schoolbooks/chemistry.pdf
though I'd like to expand it. This one is aligned to
the English schools
GCSE, but others could be designed around the curricula of
different
countries or provinces. I would see this just as a
start - we would want
to cover other subjects, other countries and other
languages if it was
successful.
My questions:
*Would anyone here be interested in working with me on
developing this
further?
*Would English language books be useful in schools, or
could we only use
ones in Hindi, etc?
*If these books are useful, does anyone here have contacts
with a
provincial or local ministry/board of education that might
support an
initiative like this?
Thanks for your time,
Martin
