Re-releasing Konkani Viswakosh under CC-BY-SA 3.0 (Event Invitation)
by Nitika Tandon 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Greetings from CIS-A2K! We request the pleasure of your company at the event 'Re-releasing Konkani Vishwakosh & Building Konkani Wikipedia' . The event will take place on the 26th September, Thursday,10am - 11am at the Conference Hall, Goa University, Taleigao. Upon CIS-A2K' explicit request, Goa University has approved the re-release of Konkani Vishwakosh under Creative Commons License (CC‐BY‐SA 3.0) to make it freely available to public and thus preserve Konkani language and culture in the digital era. This encyclopedia will also serve as one of the main sources of building and writing articles on Konkani Wikipedia (which is currently under incubation). This is a major win for the Wikimedia movement in India. This is, probably, the first time ever a State run higher education institution has re-released copyrighted content under Creative Commons. Hope more such initiatives will be underway to "Let the Knowledge Go around"! We'd like you to be a part of this event and help showcase Konkani community and language on a global digital platform such as Konkani Wikipedia. Please see the link for the invite.[1] We look forward to seeing you at the event. Best, Nitika Tandon Program Manager Access to Knowledge The Centre for Internet & Society [1] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Re-release_of_Konkani_Vishwakosh_un…

Planning type-a-thon for Bangla Wikisource (Wikisangkalan)
by Belayet Hossain 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Dear Wikimedians, Bangla Wikisource[0], we called it Wikisangkalan is the 2nd largest Wikimedia projects in Bangla. Now there are 5800+ Bangla texts available in Wikisangkalan. You know there are lots of Bangla literatures are available in public domain license and many of them available at web in unicode, pdf, djvu, jpg etc. Wikisource have a nice way to host the digital files like pdf and djvu and digitize them to unicode. But unfortunate, Bangla does not have any good OCR to digitize the texts from pdf or djvu file. Till Bangla got any free/opensource OCR with satisfactory quality, the only way to do the digitization is by human typing. And we need large collaborations at these works. More people we involve in typing more digitize Bangla texts will be available in free at the web for Reader. I am planning a day long offline event at the eatherpad[1] to do the collaborative typing for Wikisangkalan. Where people can learn how to type Bangla and edit Wikisangkalan. And They will type texts from the file for Wikisangkalan. That event helps to improve Wikisource, recruit new Wikisourcers and builds relations in the community. I need your inputs, opinions and feedbacks in planning and execution. If you want to host that event, please let me know. I am happy to help you. Also please spread the words and discuss about it with others. The event may get helps from others.

Bangla typing camps or type-a-thon to improve Bangla Wikisource
by Belayet Hossain 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

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.
