and will be sharing soon.

However, in terms of participatory and continuous mode of
evaluation<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Access_To_Knowledge/Work_plan_April_2013_-_June_2014/Learning_and_Evaluation>,
we foresee a challenge in actively involving the respective language
community members in quarterly evaluation cycles. Firstly in the five
language communities that we are focusing on, such an introspection
exercise was not done systematically before and secondly a mandatory
imposition may not be productive either for the Community or for CIS-A2K.
We do not want it to end-up becoming a "task" to be ticked against. Our
effort is to train the community to systematically introspect, which will
go a long way in strengthening the Indian language Wikipedias and the
associated communities. For instance, we have a beginning with Telugu
Wikimedia community. See this [2].


Best,
Vishnu
