[Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-in-mum] [Wikimedia-IN-PUN] Wiki India Conference

Maybe Nikhil Sheth (Schools project) can help - he was one of those who was behind the offline release I think.

That is such a good idea. First of all we would need to see how many featured articles exist in each language and if they would fit in a DVD. OpenZIM would probably be the way to go. Do we have a list of sysops or pointsmen for each language Wikipedia? I think chapter was assembling this detail.
Warm regards,

Hi all,

Is there any plan for a DVD of featured articles in all indic languages and articles by WP:IND (english wiki) ?
Releasing DVD will help to increase quality of content in the wiki.

Shiju/Santhosh,




How viable is to release a DVD in 60 days in all languages ?

Thanks. Sure!



Let's have a small core Fund Raising  team that discusses the options

for fund raising....and we post updates to all others once we agree on

something.



Would like  to know:

1. Is there a budget already?

2. Will this be fully or partially funded by anyone.

3. Are we raising funds for the Conference expenses or will we be

raising funds for the Foundation. I have no views/preferences...just

like to know so that when we approach possible sponsors we communicate

correctly.



The Starting Point should be:

For The Conf Organising Committee to outline the schedule/programme

and expected scale.

I assume it is a 3 day Event



Once we have that as a base document all other teams can get to work

around that pale blue print.



The Fund Raising Team will analyse all the fund raising opportunities

around the programme and work from there.
