Sharing insights and experiences from Indian language wiki communities - Telugu

by Shiju Alex

Dear All, As part of the India Programs of WMF<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_…> I am having discussions with wikipedians across various Indic languages. I already shared the summary of the discussions I had with the Assamese<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_…> , Hindi<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_…>, Sanskrit<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_…> and Tamil<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_…>wikimedians. Thank you all for continuing the discussions in meta wiki and in mailing lists. Today I am sharing the summary of the discussions I had with Telugu wiki community members. It is available here. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_… Among Indian language wikipedias, Telugu wikipedia is the first Indian language wikipedia that caught the attention of other Indic language wikipedians in 2006 itself. I remember reading about Telugu Wikipedia and the activities of Telugu wikipedians in many online forums during 2006-2007. Following are some of the blogposts published that time. - http://telugutanam.blogspot.com/2006/09/telugu-wikipedia-crosses-10000.html… about Telugu wikipedia crossing 10,000 articles - 2006 September) - http://crossroads.veeven.com/2007/06/26/telugu-wikipedia-reaches-30000-arti… about Telugu wikipedia crossing 30,000 articles - 2007 June) - http://crossroads.veeven.com/2007/09/10/3000-members-in-telugu-wikipedia/(N… about Telugu Wikipedia having 3000 registered users - 2007 September) In technical front also Telugu wikipedia was showing the way for other Indic language wikipedias. Telugu wikipedia is one of the first Indic language wikipedia to integrate a typing solution into wikipedia. Even though much activism happened during 2006-2008, the community was not able to keep that tempo and increase the community size. Also among Indian language wiki communities, the concept of *Community Newsletter <http://te.wikipedia.org/wiki/వికీపీడియా:తెవికీ_వార్>* came out first from the Telugu wiki community. Community already published 5 or 6 editions of Telugu wiki Newsletter. Remember still no other Indic language wiki community has a community newsletter. Soon Telugu wikipedia will cross 50,000 articles, the third Indic language wikipedia to cross that milestone. l Hope Telugu wikipedians will make use of that opportunity to add more members to its community. Telugu wikipedia has roughly 30 active editors now. Regards Shiju
