Dear rockstars,
I am thrilled to inform you about our successful GLAM meetup at the National Crafts Museum, New Delhi on 18th March, Sunday.
We met at 2 p.m. and took a walk around all the galleries and exhibits. We had a total of 14 participants including Subhashish and Noopur who are existing volunteers. By 3:30 we had looked around and spotted articles of interest like Gond painting, Mandana painting, Shekhawati painting etcetera. It was great to see a diversity in editing interests since there were 4 editors who actually worked particularly on Hindi articles. More information regarding our activities can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Delhi/Crafts_Museum_Meet
The Director of the museum, Dr Ruchira Ghose had allowed us to take pictures in all galleries. This comes as a move to release permissions to photograph art objects and upload them under CC licensing. From 3:30 to 5:30 we were editing different pages, most importantly learning how to reference so that our edits are not deleted. The deputy director, Ms Nidhi was also around to help us navigate through the place. We hope to continue meeting at least once a month.
Now, that we've assigned specific galleries to groups of two, we're expecting some pretty insightful research. Moreover, it will make more sense to first focus and specialize in a particular kind of art. In subsequent phases, we plan to shuffle it all up to get rich perspectives from others on the subjects too.
Also, this would give us a flexibility of approaching the museum at times best suited to *our* schedules.
I would love if some experienced editors interacted with us and guided our efforts too!
Thank you,
Regards -- abhishek

Congratulations you guys! We'll now get to work with the Commons backend along with the Wikipedia front end. Please provide as detailed information as possible, so that we can work on translations as well.
Yes, I've told them the same. There are a few issues: 1) The library is open only on weekdays and 2) The staff members also work on weekdays only
But, we were not disheartened because this is a start. Now we know what to build upon. Maybe Srikanth you could 'adopt' one of the editors and work collaboratively. Just an idea. :) Thanks noopur

Hey, I don't mind at all. After all, this is what Wikipedia is about- Community and Collaboration. Though I'd love to adopt an article instead. The only drawback is my lack of internet access, and that it takes time to understand me. But, I'm all for it.
