Fwd: [Wikimedia-IN-AMD] India Program: Fortnightly IRC: Indic Languages: Thursday April 5th 9pm (IST): #wikimedia-office

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Hisham" <hisham(a)wikimedia.org> Date: 5 Apr 2012 01:54 Subject: [Wikimedia-IN-AMD] India Program: Fortnightly IRC: Indic Languages: Thursday April 5th 9pm (IST): #wikimedia-office To: <wikimedia-in-amd(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "Assamese Wikipedia Mailing list" <wikipedia-as(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "India Mailing list for Wikimedians / Wikipedians in & from Bangalore" < wikimedia-in-blr(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "Bengali Wikipedia" < wikipedia-bn(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, <wikimedia-in-chn(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "Wikimedians working on India related content on English Wikipedia & related projects." <wikimedia-in-en(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, < wikimedia-in-hyd(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hi Folks Reminder about the IRC today (9pm IST on Thursday April 5th) Do join us using this link: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#wikimedia-office. Here is what we would like to discuss today - which we shall do for the first 45 minutes and then throw it open for 15 minutes for any other topics that anyone wants to discuss related to India Program. You may have noticed that we are increasing our emphasis on Wikisource. Please see Shiju's post on using simple technology to support digitazation ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Program/Indic_Languages/Digitization_o…) and Noopur's story of the Gujarati Wikisource ( http://blog.wikimedia.in/2012/04/04/realizing-the-dreams-of-communities-3-y…) In addition, Shiju has been engaged with other communities on how to start or accelerate their respective language Wikisources. Wikisource has some very important characteristics that make it attractive. It's a (relatively) easier way for newbies to start contributing than the respective Wikipedia It's a great way to reach out to language lovers - and love for a language is an important motivator for contribution (on this and other projects) There is a much lower gender gap on Wikisource, and it's easy for a wider age group to contribute It's more "accessible" as an entry point to newbies because it has less policies than other projects It's can act as a gateway to other projects In today's IRC, we'd like to talk through the work that's happening on Wikisource by many communities, discuss best practices and provide a channel of support for anyone interested in joining the project from any language. Speak soon. *hisham* _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-IN-AMD mailing list Wikimedia-IN-AMD(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-in-amd

ગુજરાતી વિકિપીડિયા નાં મિત્રો, ગયા અઠવાડિયે મેં આપમાંથી અમુક સભ્યો જોડે ગુજરાતી વિકિસોર્સ ની અદ્ભુત વાર્તા ને એક બ્લોગ પોસ્ટ વડે બધાને પહોચાડવાની ચર્ચા કરી હતી. આ રહ્યો તે લેખ જે હું આપ સહુ ગુજરાતી વિકિપીડિયા સભ્યો અને આપના યોગદાનો ને અર્પણ કરું છું. આ મારી તરફ થી પેહ્લો અને ખુબ જ નાનો પ્રયાસ છે. મારાથી કોઈ ભૂલ થઇ હોય તો જરૂર જણાવશો અને ક્ષમા કરશો. ભવિષ્ય માં આપ આથી પણ મોટા શિખર સર કરો એવી શુભેચ્છા સાથે આ લિન્ક આપ સાથે વહેંચી રહી છું. અહીં વાંચો: http://blog.wikimedia.in/2012/04/04/realizing-the-dreams-of-communities-3-y… આભાર નૂપુર -- Noopur Raval

by Dhaval S. Vyas 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hi All, We have been planning a web meeting for which we initially planned this coming Sunday and then got suggestion for Sunday 5th February. It seems that some interested people can't make either first or second. So I have thought to do it on both these following sundays. Time remains the same, 11 am India time and we'll meet on skype ID gu.wikipedia. Can you please confirm who will be attending when? We'll be mainly focusing on editing, things to remember while editing/translating, etc. Hope to see as many of you as can. Tc, Dhaval

Wikipatrika: Next Issue
by Noopur Raval 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Dear all, I'm writing with regard to Wikipatrika. For the folks who don't know, this is the community newsletter which has come out twice (in September 2010<http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Wikimedia_India_Communi…> & June 2011 <http://wiki.wikimedia.in/WikiPatrika/2011-06>) It's a really wonderful way documenting and celebrating the amazing work done by so many community members across so many communities in the various projects. It helps share ideas with and helps pick up ideas from other communities. I think Wikipatrika is something that could be more frequent - given the range of activities across communities - and I'd like to support it. In this regard, I approached all the editors who were involved in the previous 2 issues to ask their interest in bringing out the next one in end April covering Jan - Mar 2012, and to see if we can make it more regular (potentially every quarter.) 5 community members from different languages have already offered to help. Another community member will setup a template that all languages can use (on wiki.wikimedia.in) I have also started reaching out to editors who might not have been involved before, and hence this mail. The template for Wikipatrika will be ready only by April 2nd week. In the meantime, can I ask whoever is interested to create a page on their respective languages wikipedias and start sharing stories and updates on this page. I'd encourage everyone to write these in whatever language they are comfortable in to begin with. (Once the template is set up on wiki.wikimedia.in, these individual pages could then be posted there.) To start off, you could start with the following sections (which I'm illustrating using the Bengali<http://wiki.wikimedia.in/WikiPatrika/2011-06/Community_News/bn> page from a previous Wikipatrika), and just start adding content. 1. General overview 2. Bengali Wikipedia 3. Bengali Wikisource 4. Bengali Wiktionary 5. Bengali Wikibooks 6. News reports 7. Any other section(s) you want to add Please do add as much as you want on - Updates on the various projects - Landmarks, birthdays, celebrations, events, conferences, etc between Jan-Mar 2012 - Reports on outreach sessions conducted - Links to meetups and where to find the next ones - Please feel free to add sections that you think would be nice. I could suggest "Featured Wikimedians" and "Featured Newbies" as examples. Here <http://This%20should%20go%20on%20India%20and%20Indic%20mailing%20lists%20%2…>is how the Nepali community did it last time. After you set up the page, please do post this on your respective village pumps or mailing lists and any other forums so that all community members know. Please do share the page with me (offlist) so I can help out too. If you would like to help but are not sure how, or if you are facing any kind of difficulties, please do not hesitate to contact me ( noopur(a)wikimedia.org) Regards Noopur

[Cross posting]: Blog post on Netha Hussain / Introduction to Storytelling
by Noopur Raval 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

*Apologies for cross posting. FYI -- * Dear all, To celebrate Women's History Month, I thought it would be really nice to celebrate an Indian woman editor's story. A short story on User: Netha Hussain was posted on the WMF blog<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/03/27/wiki-women-joining-indic-languages/> . (Netha is an editor on Malayalam Wikipedia, has been involved in women topics and recently coordinated the first women's edit-a-thon<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/India_WikiWomen%27s_Edit-a-Th…> in India.) While I was preparing this, I was wondering if we could make story-telling of this nature a regular feature, and see how it can support community building. We could do a series of short profiles of editors - in the form of stories - covering your life as well as your wiki journey. The intent is to reflect the diversity of our community - language, age, profession, projects. I am going to try and bring out at least one such story every month - but we can always try and work on as many more as we can get. I am already looking for new story ideas and would love to hear from interested community folks. Here is how it works. I prepare a short set of questions and points for the story and send it across to you. Once you reply, I draft out a story and send it back for your approval. After we make necessary changes to the draft, I can publish it. If you are ok, we can also look at forwarding these stories to the local media as well. Please do write to me at nraval(a)wikimedia.org and let's start working on your story! Don't forget to go through the Netha's story<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/03/27/wiki-women-joining-indic-languages/>; it's really inspiring! Regards, Noopur Raval

Dear All, Thank you very much Shuiju For your wishes!And Congratulations to you too. This was the long cherished dream. In the New year of 2012 we had decided that within these this year we have to get domain on source. I had told Dhaval that it is my resolution of the year. And the day has arose. I wish to thank you all the people who have what so ever their small big role in creation of wiki source for gujarati Language. Now that the foundation has shown so much trust on the community, the responsibility of the community doubles. And I wish this project touch new avenues. Thank you all the language committee members, Shiju and other guides, Software developers, Localization translators for massages, Contributors and all the other people! This is the great achievement for the community. And To conclude.... "IT IS JUST A BEGINNING .......!"

Hi All, For the Gujarati language it is one of those golden days today. We have got our own Wikisource created at http://gu.wikisource.org/. it has been a long journey and took just over 3 years for the subdomain creation. We had created request on 5th March 2009 and it has been created Today on 27th March. This 3 years has brought many of us, Gujarati wikip(m)edians close and lastly, many of my fellows from Gujarati Wikipedia became active there. We had set our first benchmark of creating 1000 entries, which was achieved early last week. As soon as we achieved that goal, we started creating first complete book, and selected Mahatma Gandhi's Rachanatmak Karyakram (રચનાત્મક કાર્યક્રમ). User Sushant Savla came up with an idea of collaborative project and 6 users participated with zeal. Sushant very coordinated the entire project and we completed the small book in just 5 days. Attracted by the success of this project, now we have started Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography - સત્યના પ્રયોગો અથવા આત્મકથા, and this project is being coordinated by another user Ashok Modhvadia. It must be noted that both, Sushant and Ashok are very old Gujarati Wikipedians, we all started around the same time (myself in late 2007 and they both in 2008). This time, we have 2 additional users contributing in this project and 1 more from the previous task is about to join very soon, making the total count of 8 users. I take this opportunity to thank all of my Gujarati Community for cooperating us, right from the supporting our request through to localisation of messages and to the contributions till date. I pray that they all and myself remain active always on wikipedia and its sister projects and serve to our mother language and we continue bringing more and more literature from the public domain into gu.wikisource.org tirelessly.
