Knowledge is universal
...so share it.
Hi Wikimedians,
I would love to share with you an idea, that I've planned to improve Bangla
Wikisource (http://bn.wikisouce.org) contents by typing digitized (PDF,
DjVu) books now available at Public domain license. Target people for this
plan is students of school, college and universities.
The basic idea is Bangla does not have any good OCR to work. But there are
lots of digitized public domain books are available at internet as well
printed public domain books in reality. So we have to type the books to
make it in Unicode. So run series of type-a-thon event in educational
institutions where student can learn how to type Bangla using Bangla
Wikisource integrated typing tools. They can practice Bangla typing with
the Bangla Wikisource ProofReading extention page by typing the PDF or DjVu
pages uploaded at Bangla Wikisource or Commons. They will also lean about
Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects in Bangla. That's a way we can
improve and increase Bangla Wikisource contents and also enable students to
contribute in Bangla Wikimedia projects.
I made a draft the idea at the meta page[1] with some more explanations and
more details. I would like to invite you to join the plan, improve it and
make it success by discuss it, with your comments, suggestions and your
active participations.

Dear Wikipedians!
Bangla Wikipedia is the largest encyclopedia in Bangla Wikipedia, also the
largest encyclopedia in Bangladesh.
I am happy to let you know that the next year on January 27, 2014 Bangla
Wikipedia will be 10[1] years old. All of you will agree with me that "10
years of Bangla Wikipedia" deserves a grand celebration. We have only 5
month to plan, design, arrangements and celebrate. I think this is the
right time to start community discussion and set the plan how we will work
on that and make celebrate this grand anniversary.
I've create a project page[2] on Bangla Wikipedia for the discussion and
coordination of the events centrally. Tou can discuss in the mailing lists,
But make sure that your idea goes to Wikipedia page as well.
I would like to invite you to join the discussion. Please write down your
ideas, plans and suggestions to celebrate this unique occasion for Bangla
Wikipedia.

Subject: [WMIN-Members] NCERT portal goes CC-BY-SA
Hi folks,
Savithri just gave me some wonderful news. The new National Repository of
Open Education Resources has been launched, and Dr. Tharoor, the HRD
Minister announced its licensed under CC-BY-SA! *http://nroer.in/home/*
Iv been following up with Dr. Tharoor and NCERT for about 6 months now,
pushing for this. Thanks to Gautam, Tinu, Savithri, Dr. Nagarjuna and
everyone else who helped make this happen. It is certainly a major win for
us as a chapter to be a part of this and a major win for OER in India.

Kind Regards,
Pranav Curumsey
Thanks Pranav for sharing.
