Dear all,
A quick update on Wikipatrika. Here's the current draft of the next issue
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/WikiPatrika/2012-05/Community_News
As you can see, most of the sections have been updated with information on
events, meetups and Wikipedia news of our various language communities.
This time, we've also added an interview of a community member (Bpositive's
report on INCOTM) and an external interview (interview with a GLAM
Director) to make Patrika more informative and interesting.
Quite a few of you may already have contributed to this draft. The pages
for as, bn, gu, hi, en, kn, ne, or, sa, te and ta have already been
translated from the respective languages. There is also a Commons tab where
we can add information on various photo walks. The reason why I'm sharing
this update is for everyone else to add material that may have been left
out or any other details. Do remember that we are planning to release this
on May 10th so please do add your edits / sections by May 9th.
Also, going forward, we hope to coordinate the issue on the Wikipatrika
mailing list. So, I invite all those interested to join the Wikipatrika
mailing list here:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-in-newsletter
Regards
Noopur

Thanks once again Ashwin,
I have been considering to release the books officially, but unfortunately,
PDF conversion is not working with Gujarati. The bug is filed a while ago,
and I have been told that it may get quite a long time to fix the issue.
Without having capability of exporting the page as PDF or preparing a book,
I won't really feel to rush for the book release.
Regards,
Dhaval

ગુજરાતી વીકી સમુદાય ના વ્હાલા મિત્રો,
ગાંધીજી ની આત્મકથા ના પ્રોજેક્ટ ની પુર્ણાહુતી બદલ ખૂબ ખૂબ અભિનંદન! મેં એમ
પણ સાંભળ્યું કે વ્યોમ આની પછી નો પ્રોજેક્ટ સંભાળશે. મને પણ આમાં જોડાવું છે
તો તેની માહિતી ક્યાં મળી શકે? અને હું કૈક શોધી રહી હતી ત્યારે મને આ સાઈટ
દેખાઈ. કદાચ તમને મદદરૂપ થાયે: http://pustakalay.com/sahitya.htm
અભાર,

Dear All,
On behalf the Gujarati community, I wanted to share a nice update. On 22nd
April, Gujarati Wikisource reached a major milestone with the completion
of " સત્યના પ્રયોગો અથવા
આત્મકથા<http://gu.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%AA%B8%E0%AA%A4%E0%AB%8D%E0%AA%AF%E0%AA%A8…>"
(Saty Naa Prayogo Athavaa Aatmakathaa) It is the Autobiography of Mahatma
Gandhi (The story of my experiments with
truth<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_My_Experiments_with_Truth>).
This book has 454 pages in 169 chapters in 5 sections.
The work to digitize this book was started less than 1 month before.
The following Gujarati wiki librarians contributed to this project.
1. સુશાંત સાવલા (Sushant Savla)
2. ધવલ વ્યાસ (Dhaval Vyas)
3. vyom25 (Vyom)
4. સતિષ પટેલ (Satish Chandra)
5. જેઠાભાઇ ઓડેદરા (Jethabhai Odedara)
6. અશોક મોઢવાડીયા (Ashok Modhavadia - Captain)
7. jaishree
8. Roopal Mehta
9. સંજય બાલોતિયા (Sanjay Balotia)
10. જીતેન્દ્રસિંહ (Jinedrasinh)
11. નિલેશ બંધીયા (Nilesha Bandhia)
12. Findjigar
13. દેવેન્દ્રસિંહ ગોહિલ (Devendrasinh Gohil)
To me, this is actually the biggest part of this story! *13
wikilibrarians*from all over the world collaborated on this! That is
amazing for
a relatively new community.
I would like to acknowledge the contributions of Ashok Modhavadia from
Junagadh for managing the project, and for Sushant Savla and Dhaval Vyas
for being inspirations behind it. Incidentally, Ashok managed the scanning
of all the pages, the allotment of chapters, and all other aspects of
project management.
For anyone interested in how to manage a Wikisource initiative, do look at
the discussions on this page
[
http://gu.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%AA%9A%E0%AA%B0%E0%AB%8D%E0%AA%9A%E0%AA%BE…
]
Digitization of the next book will be managed by Vyom.
There is an lovely quote I will close this mail with: આજ આનંદ મારા આંગણે
રે લોલ! (Aaj aanand maara aangane re lol!) which means "Today is a joyous
day for us!"
Congratulations to the Gujarati community.
Wishing Gujarati wiki community all the best.
Warmest Regards,
Shiju Alex
આ અભિનવ કક્ષાના યજ્ઞની સફળતાપૂર્વક પુર્ણાહુતિ બદલ સહુને હાર્દિક અભિનંદન.
હવે પછીના આવા પ્રક્લ્પમાટે હું મારૂં યોગદાન આપવા તૈયાર છું.
અશોક વૈષ્ણવ

John,
We didn't upload original scans to commons. We worked on offline scans.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35668 is the bug for pdf
export issued faced on Gujarati.

Thanks Ashwin,
Not only this book, but the other one that is completed and the one
underway, are all proof read against original. These are all manually typed
and not OCR'd. Thanks to the lack of available OCR Tool/software for indic
scripts.
If you or anybody else here is aware of good and reliable tool for Indic,
especially Gujarati, script please share. That will help us upload book in
remarkably less time than it has taken.
Best,
Dhaval

Hi all,
There have been numerous outreach sessions organized all across India, so we decided to organize a WikiWorkshop of our own in Ahmedabad. :)
We decided on the Electronics and Communication Engineering department at LD Engineering College as the venue a couple of weeks earlier. This was mainly because Harsh was confident that we would be able to obtain all the permissions to use a classroom in time. The date was pretty convenient since it was a state-wide holiday due to Parshuram Jayanti.
We had also invited Hisham to be a part of the event during Office hours on 19 April 2012. Hisham accepted our invitation to fly in and help us conduct the workshop. Nitika followed up with the presentations and offered to help us with event planning. Arnav Sonara, a Gujarati and English Wikipedia volunteer translated parts of Nitika’s presentation into the Gujarati language.
We received confirmation of participation from 42 students through a Google Docs based sign up page created by me. This was very heartening and we expected at least half of the students to actually turn up for the event. ;)
Hisham landed in Ahmedabad at 8.40am and was available at the venue around 9.30am. Anirudh and I joined in later. Hisham guided Harsh and I through the presentation he was carrying so that Harsh could use them later for future workshops in the city.
The time period before the scheduled time for the session was spent discussing ideas with regard to the purpose and objectives of outreach. Hisham opined that it is important to keep pursuing the newbies after they attend outreach sessions and workshops, while Anirudh said that was probably not the best use of scarce volunteer time, which could be better spent contributing to the projects themselves, and helping those editors who approach the veteran contributors on their own accord. We are interested in learning from the follow-up work that the WMF India team has done with regard to the programs it has run in the past and its direct success with the recruitment of new editors. We hope this will start a useful discussion.
Seventeen people turned up for the workshop. This included Vyom Majmudar, a veteran Gujarati Wikipedia and a frequent Wikisource editor and Karthik Mistry, a Debian geek and FOSS advocate.
I commenced the session by introducing Hisham to the participants. Hisham then began with his presentation. The agenda of this workshop was to acquaint the participants basics of Wikipedia editing - five pillars, notability guidelines, followed by a short editing session.
Hisham guided the participants through the first four pillars of Wikipedia but did not speak about the fifth pillar ([[WP:IAR|There are no firm rules on Wikipedia]]). He told me that it would be a bit too advanced for new editors to understand, and then asked to explain it to the participants. Anirudh also elaborated on the third pillar of Wikipedia ([[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is free content]]) that Wikipedia not only provides content free of charge, but that the users of the website are free to edit, use, modify and distribute the content. Free as in free beer, and free as in free speech and free markets. :)
After the presentation was concluded, eleven people stayed back in the workshop out of which five were completely new to editing. We edited both the English and Gujarati Wikipedia projects. [[w:gu:User:Shaildve]] created three stubs while being guided by Vyom. [[User:Chirayu.Chiripal]], who, by the way, does not speak Gujarati, has started contributing to Gujarati Wikipedia by making templates. \m/
The City Bhaskar covered the story on the workshop.[1][2] Many thanks to Noopur Raval for connecting us with the journalist.
Overall, we think there is scope for improvement in the way we present Wikimedia projects to new users. Some of the topics we touched and discussed such as notability guidelines, referencing and the five pillars could have been presented in a more coherent manner. These are some of the things we will be working on in the near future and would really like to take help from more veteran Wikipedia editors to promote our projects in the state of Gujarat. (Ashwin, are you listening? :P)
TL;DR: The Ahmedabad workshop was organized by Konarak Ratnakar and Harsh Kothari on 24 April 2012. Seventeen participants attended the event. Anirudh Bhati (Wikimedia India) and Hisham Mundol (WMF India Programs) were also present. Hisham addressed the new users initially with a presentation, and later the experienced contributors trained and answered the newbies. It was great to have two veteran contributors like Vyom and Anirudh around, who helped out greatly during the sessions. There is a lot of scope for improvement in the quality of our outreach sessions and each and every one of these events contributes to their constant improvement.
Best regards,
Konarak Ratnakar (with inputs from Anirudh Bhati)
