Dear all, CIS-A2K would like to share with you the newsletter for the month of July 2015. We look forward to hearing any feedback or input you might have. The Goan Konkani Wikipedia (available at gom.wikipedia.org) has gone live after spending nine long years in incubation. Konkani Wikipedia has many heroes, Melissa Simoes and Darshan Kandolkar are two of the many long-term contributors who joined Konkani Wikipedia during the Konkani Wikipedia @ Goa University program and are still active even after the program was formally concluded. Darshan is an Assistant Professor at the Government College Pernem in Goa. His professor at Goa University, Dr. Madhavi Sardesai—who passed away last year—played a vital role in inspiring him to pursue higher studies in Konkani. Darshan realized that there is a lot to be written in Konkani when he was introduced to Wikipedia, and after that, he became dedicated towards contributing to the project. The Konkani Wikimedia community has been using social media actively to promote the Konkani Wikipedia project, and to celebrate the successes of its contributors. After Melissa became the top contributor to the project, her fellow editor Luis Gomes congratulated her. That brought Melissa into the spotlight, gaining the attention of editors from the global Wikimedia community. The community is continuing a tradition to rewarding the most prolific contributor of each month as the "Wikipedian of the Month".

If we need to run a Wikimania successfully, it is time that the Wikimedia community in India reboots itself and works together towards that. Conducting a WikiConference India first will be a good start towards achieving that goal. This will help us assess our strengths and plan accordingly for Wikimania 2019.

MediaWikiTTT-2015
by Dr.U.B. Pavanaja 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Dear Wikimedians, It gives WMIN and CIS-A2K great pleasure to announce that we have started preparations for MediaWiki Train the Trainer Program. It is a matter of grave concern that while the Indian Language Wikipedias are slowly improving their content and expanding their volunteer base, there is very less and often zero representation from the Indian Language Communities towards MediaWiki software and the available tools around. CIS-A2K intends to bridge this gap by creating and grooming 'tech' leaders in the MediaWiki sphere from the existing Indian Language Wikipedians. MediaWiki Train the Trainer program aims to facilitate discussions around nurturing leadership regarding tech related issues, file bugs that hinder the growth of Indian Language Wikipedias, active contribution towards improving the existing MediaWiki software and understanding the importance of mediating technology for outreach activities. The 4 day residential event will happen in last week of June, 2015. Exact dates and venue will be announced soon. We welcome specific issues that should be discussed during the MWTTT as well as feedback and suggestions. Please write to us if there are any concerns. The event page : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/Mediawiki_Train_the_Trainer_P rogram Thanks and regards, Pavanaja ---------------------------------------------------- U.B.
