I saw a reference to this newsletter in the latest edition of the
Signpost. I am quoting from the Jimmy Wales Interview,
"He announced plans for a quarterly newsletter to be published on more
than 20 different Indian-language Wikipedias. Each Indian-language
Wikipedia will contribute to the newsletter, and share "what is going
on in their Wiki, what problems they're facing ... and it's a way for
them to communicate with each other, and of course it's in English, so
it's nice that they're able to do that.... all around the world the
smaller language Wikis are growing faster than the large wikis for
obvious reasons—there's a lot left to do and a lot of opportunities."

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.
How about using the name "Wikizine India"? or even "Wikipedia India
Community newsletter" seems better.
Is it always only going to be about Wikipedia? If that is the case,
then yes, oethrwise, I believe that Wikimedia India Community
Newsletter is more appropriate.
I like Wikizine India too!
note: Wikimedia is not written with a capital M in the middle ;)
Cheers,
Delphine
