Subject: KaiOS phone users can now experience Wikipedia through a dedicated
app!
To: Erica Litrenta <elitrenta(a)wikimedia.org>
Hi everyone,
My name is Angie and I work on the Inuka Team at the Wikimedia Foundation
(formerly the "New Readers" team). [1]
I wanted to share that there is now an additional way to browse Wikipedia
in India. As of a few weeks ago, there is a Wikipedia app available on
KaiOS in India, which is provided through Jiophones [2]. Jiophone users can
download and install the Wikipedia app on the JioStore. As of early
October, there have been over 1 million downloads.
This first release is focused on how to make it easier to read Wikipedia on
a phone that does not have a touch screen. The platform supports over 100
languages for reading, and we appreciate that volunteers have fully
translated the Wikipedia app user interface into several Indian languages
already. The app will continue to have updates and reach more countries
over time.
If you (or someone you know) own a Jiophone, please give the app a try by
downloading it from the JioStore. We would like to hear about your
experience with it. Let us know about issues or bugs through the in-app
feedback feature, through the project talk page [3], or through Phabricator
[4].
To enable the app to reach readers in even more Indian languages, we would
greatly appreciate additional translations of the user interface on
Translatewiki.net [5].
To know more about the app and our work, and why we believe this project is
so important to help us reach new users, you can see the main page for the
app [6] and the Questions and Answers page [7]. We welcome your comments,
suggestions, and feedback on the related talk page [3].
Lastly, please, do share this message on other venues of interest for your
fellow community members in India.
Kind regards,
Angie

Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikidata Eighth Birthday merchandise
To: wikimediaindia-l <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Discussion
list for the Wikidata project <wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi everyone,
As you know, WikiProject India
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_India> is celebrating
the 8th birthday of Wikidata
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Eighth_Birthday/India> this October
and on this occasion, CIS-A2K <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K>
will be sending *Wikidata special merchandise* to *all Indian affiliates*
and *communities* upon request as well as *active Wikidata contributors
residing in India*.
*Affiliates and Communities*
Please note,
- *All Indian affiliates* are welcome to request for Wikidata special
merchandise and/or infrastructure. There is no need for community
notification. But, affiliate contacts or board members or executive
committee members or people in similar positions, who can represent the
affiliate, need to do the request.
- *All Indian language communities*, except those who have geographical
affiliates, are welcome to request for Wikidata special merchandise
requests. But, the community should decide on-wiki and have clear consensus
to whom the merchandise will be sent.
- Indian language communities having geographical affiliates are
requested to discuss any need with their respective affiliates first and
ask them to request them on their behalf.
- Only *one request for each* affiliate or language community will be
accepted.
- It is expected that the requests for merchandise and/or infrastructure
should be practical enough to be used by community members and within the
budget of *maximum INR 10,000 for each affiliates*.
- CIS-A2K will not design for the merchandise. If any custom design is
preferred, the affiliate or the community should upload it to Wikimedia
Commons as svg format and send the link to CIS-A2K, which will be taken
care of, while printing it. The design should be Wikidata specific only.
If this sounds interesting, please feel free to request here -
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Eighth_Birthday/India#Affiliates_and…
*Active contributors*
- CIS-A2K will *pro-actively send* different gifts or merchandise as
small token of appreciation for active Wikidata contributors from India.
Contributors *do not have to request* them.
- Merchandise can be in the form of T-shirts or mementos or other
things. The budget allocated for each contributor is *INR 1,000*.
- CIS-A2K will take care of the designing part.
Regards,
Bodhisattwa
Wikidata Co-ordinator, CIS-A2K
