[Wikimediaindia-l] Newsletter?

[guru brahma]

Given that the name Wikimedia is copyrighted, I am not too sure if it can be 
used in the title. Probably someone with a better legal background can pitch in. 
Gautam? Anirudh?

However, I'm not clear about how this should be shaped. Is this going to be an 
official Wikimedia newsletter? (seeing that it is titled "Wikimedia India 
Newsletter"). Given that Wikimedia official newsletters are brought in a 
slightly different manner (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_newsletter), 
can you share the ideas and objective behind the planned newsletter so that it 
brings more clarity to the contributors?

Sure. The aim is to share the community news of the various Indian Language Wiki 
communities. As you can see from the PDF that I shared with you, several 
languages already provided the community News. So requesting Kannada wiki 
community also to be part of this. 


It is the community newsletter. So I think it is better to name it as WikiMedia 
India Community News Letter. I will change like that. 


Once the chapter is formed, chapter can think about taking this forward from the 
next version of the News letter.




Also observed that the draft of the newsletter I've received is crashing though 
on evince viewer (on debian lenny). It could be useful if you could share 
details about the software used to create the PDF. Probably Inkscape pros from 
the community could help? :)

Typesetting is done using Open Office writer. It is still going on. I have 
enabled Commenting using Adobe Reader feature in the PDF that I sent to you. 
That might be the reason why it is crashed. I will send you a normal PDF soon.

Shiju had mailed me requesting to contribute a little piece covering the 
activities surrounding Kannada on Wikipedia and related projects. I have stuff 
to refer here written by volunteers from Malayalam and Tamil Wikipedia.
