Hi,
Effective 01 February 2016, I have changed the nature of my engagement
with
Wikimedia India (WMIN) from staff to volunteer.
I joined WMIN when the overall scene in the Indian Wikimedia movement was
tumultuous. It wasn’t easy getting things back on track. In the last 16
months, I hope I have succeeded in restoring the trust of all
stakeholders
