Hello I'm new to mailing lists, so please don't mind if I do this
incorrectly.
Vishnu T, What would be included in the program, and wouldn't English also
be an appropriate possible location for the same?
Also, are there any plans for help from the WIkipedia community itself to
deal and help with any technical or other issues the students in the
undergraduate program are likely to face?
I hope such programs would be successful, and even extended towards other
colleges and universities in India
Congratulations and regards,
Soni

Hi,
//Well, salaries upto 2 lakh _per month_ with additional allowances for
expenses on domestic and international travel is pretty huge for India.
Reading from

So what? An employee working for the same BPO / software company in India
gets paid less than his counterpart in US. Even offsetting the lifestyle
and cost of living allowances, it becomes like mere outsourcing for cheap
labour. Should WMF consider cost cutting and out source this work to some
other country :) ? 2 lakh INR comes around 3000 USD which is a decent
salary for a mid level employee in US. For a national program like CIS -
A2K, salaries in this range is acceptable.
Ravi,
Do you think it is appropriate to compare Wikimedia Foundation or its
functioning in India to profit making companies and BPOs?
