gives the log of this meeting - for those who couldn't attend.
As planned, the major topic of discussion was the Indic Languages
initiatives. We talked about the overall approach that Shiju has been
following with several dozen community members. We walked through the
Medical project - currently underway in
Assamese<http://as.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A7%B1%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%95%E0%A6%…
,
Telugu<http://te.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B0%B5%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%95%E0%B1%80…
, Oriya

&

(This seeks to create vital articles in Indic wikis with the help of
community members with medical/healthcare background, or users who are
interested in healthcare articles.) During the IRC, Jayanta informed us
that the Bengali community have also started
it<http://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:MED>
- which is great. We also discussed the Translated Articles Enhancement
Project<http://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B2%B5%E0%B2%BF%E0%B2%95%E0%B2%B…
which
has been started by the Kannada community.
Thank you to every one but a special thank you to the new folks who came
on today. It's always nice to see new faces!
We ran out of time on this IRC. As discussed, I would like to suggest
Thursday March 22nd @9pm IST for another IRC. (This is in addition to the
IRC planned for March 29th.) The March 22nd IRCwill be an open house - and
will not therefore have a predetermined agenda.
As always, do visit the India Program
page<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Program> for
more information on everything we do.
Best

cross-posting to reach pan-community; apologies if you received it from
other mailing lists already
Hi Folks,
One of the essential things that India Program needs to constantly work
out is keeping the community informed of the work that we are doing - so
that this work is clearer but also to help cross-pollinate ideas amongst a
wider set of community members who might not have been engaged on specific
village pump / talk page discussion or involved in particular activities
(e.g. outreach events) or wikiprojects.
We used to have a monthly IRC with the community and India Program. (For
those who are not familiar with IRC, it is an Internet messaging system
similar to a regular chat room. It's very simple to use and you can join
in by clicking on the following link: *
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#wikimedia-office*<http://webchat.…ce>.)
I
have been remiss in conducting these for the past few months - and I'd like
to make amends by restarting, with a couple of modifications.
a) I'd like to propose fortnightly instead of monthly. (I was wary of
doing it any more frequently than monthly earlier because I didn't know if
there would be enough on the plate to discuss. I have changed my mind now
- because there is too much to discuss to cover in a single monthly
session.) I'd like to propose that we do it in the 1st and 3rd Thursdays
of every month at 9pm IST (which is GMT + 0530) - THOUGH NOT THIS MONTH -
BECAUSE I HAVE MISSED THE TIMELINE. Just for March, we will do it on *March
15th* and March 29th (both at *9pm IST* which is GMT + 0530)
b) I'd like to propose that we do it focussed on specific work streams
instead of general. The reason I say this is that - as with many community
meet-ups, folks will give time to attend a meet-up or participate in an IRC
only if there is a topic of relevance to them. To that extent, we could do
one IRC on Indic languages and one on Outreach & Communications. I'd start
both the IRCs with a re-cap of India Programs activities for the fortnight
(or so) prior to the IRC and forward from the IRC - and then we could talk
about either Indic langauges or Outreach & Communications.
The *March 15th one will be focussed on Indic Languages* and the one on
March 29th will be on Outreach & Communications.
