[[Staff]] redirects to [[Staff and contractors]]. So they should be there I
guess.

AFAIK, They are Contractors, and not staff as such , due to the
absense of legal structure for WMF in India
And I believe they will become  the staff of India Programme Trust ,
once it is on wheels (And since India Trust is not an official WMF
body, they will not be WMF Staff)

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Sharing insights and experiences from Indian language wiki communities - Kannada

2011-12-09 Thread Jessie Wild 
Thanks for sending this, Shiju!

I just got off the phone with a wonderful woman who works for EDC India who
was asking me how she could participate in Kannada Wikipedia editing.
Obviously I can just direct her to the homepage of kn-wiki, but is there
somewhere she could go to get some coaching to begin? She's never edited
before, but is fluent in English too and wants to increase the educational
content.

Thanks for your help!
Jessie

Arnav, at Footprints, if you meet people who are interested in
contributing to Wikimedia's open source software projects, please do
feel free to let them know about our efforts, such as MediaWiki.  Here
are some flyers or notes that you can use if they are suitable for you.

homepage for that effort is

Hello,

I dont see India Programs Staff being mentioned in this page[1]. Is there a
specific reason to it? IIRC number of employees / contractors from this
page is important since goes to fundraising appeal numbers. While it is
said that 95 staff, am not sure if some there are more are missed out like
this. Can someone take it and forward and update. Thanks!

[Wikimediaindia-l] Announcing - WikiProject Offline Wikipedia for Indian Schools

2011-12-09 Thread Ashwin Baindur 
ANNOUNCING A NEW WIKIPROJECT

(WikiProject Offline Wikipedia for Indian Schools)


 Dear friends,

This is to announce the beginning of a new project for WikiProject
India - WikiProject
Offline Wikipedia for Indian Schools (OWIS). For quite some time now, there
has been a need for an offline wikipedia compilation suitable to Indian
schools. There are, and have always been, a whole lot of Indian schools and
students out there who do not have access to an English encyclopedia. The
web has killed off a whole range of printed encyclopedias and factbooks
besides paid encyclopedia packages such as Encarta. If the school does not
provide wide-spread, regular and dependable access to the web. then the
students have zilch. So, keeping in mind that English Wikipedia has been
around for more than a decade and has more than enough material for an
encyclopedia, we began this project so that all interested people could
pitch in and collectively prepare such offline compilations which are the
need of the hour.

About the Wikiproject

To do this, we began a new WikiProject in English Wikipedia, daughter to
WikiProject India. Titled WikiProject Offline Wikipedia for Indian
Schools(OWIS), it is intended to be the umbrella WikiProject for all
Indian
versions of offline English language wikipedias for students and
communities. The WikiProject will concentrate on content issues and leave
the production to a team of technically oriented guys from the community
(to be decided later).

You can read about the WikiProject page here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Offline_Wikipedia_for_Indian_Schools

Under this WikiProject, it is proposed to provide a variety of compilations
suitable for various needs, such as a full offline encyclopedia, single
disc collations on topics related to India etc.

The first project

To begin with, we felt it is best to create a single DVD compilation with
all subjects covered in sufficient detail. We have named it as Offline
Wikipedia for Indian Schools (Full version) or OWIS-FULL (in short).


It is based on and will be similar to the SOS Children’s Village Offline
Wikipedia for School which you can checkout for yourself at this link:

http://schools-wikipedia.org/

The project page for this first project is here:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Offline_Wikipedia_for_Indian_Schools/Offline_Full

The SOS village compilation is CD based with approximately 6500 articles
based on the British educational syllabus. Naturally, it contains a large
number of topics relevant only to the UK and has a distinct Western flavour
in its overall choice too, which is only natural.

To make this compilation suitable for our environment, we will have to not
only add a whole host of new articles on Indian topics to the compilation
but also remove topics/articles irrelevant to Indian students. In addition,
the SOS Children’s Encyclopaedia, being in existence for the last few
years, is designed to fit on a CD with the consequence that the number of
articles on a subject cover a subject satisfactorily but skimpily. Since we
plan our compilation to be on a DVD, there is scope to improve coverage on
all subjects as well. Hence it is planned to have in the region of around
9000 articles.

So where are we now? As a first step we have established the framework in
the form of the WikiProject and pages where one can work. The list of
topics from the SOS compilation has been prepared subjectwise. These lists
need to be vetted/improved/extended and then finalised.

As of now, six subjects have been opened up for topic selection - Art, IT,
Maths, Physics, Biology and Chemistry. We need motivated editors to join
the teams and pitch in. The selection of topics needs to be completed in
ten days time so that we can move on to other subjects, other tasks.

So, if this venture interests you, if you want to do something really
important with us, if you agree with our proposition that this is critical
for delivering the potential of Wikipedia to digitally-challenged
communities, sign up here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Offline_Wikipedia_for_Indian_Schools/Offline_Full#Members

All the best to all of us to successfully complete this vital project.

 Heya,
 With just EIGHT days remaining for our Kovai meetup, I thought I'd send
 across this mail.
 Here is the main meetup page, hosted on Meta.
 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetup/Coimbatore
 With each passing meetup, the lead section will be updated to show the
 next meetup.

 The venue is KG Information systems Limited, Thudiyalur Road,
 Saravanampatti, Kovai-35.
 Here is the Foursquare check in page: Do check in. We can earn badges. :

 The location inside KGISL and timings should be confirmed in a day or
 two.

 Another interesting method I've found to promote this meetup is:

 Thanks to twitter user @aagan86 for informing me about this, and
 Wikipedia admin User:Phantomsteve who helped me with the barcode, and
 Subhashish from the Odia community for helping me out with this..

 All those who have a barcode scanner:
 Go ahead.

 Hoping to see you all there.

[Wikimediaindia-l] [Fundraising] Sengai Poduvan & Aniruddha's -- Personal appeal

2011-12-09 Thread Srikanth Lakshmanan 
Hello all,

One more Indian appeal is about to go on the banners soon I guess. Please
read Dr.Sengai Podhuvan's appeal here[1]. Aniruddha Kumar's appeal is also
on the way and might be available soon. If you had met the old gentlemen in
the conference, didnt had a chat with him, here his story. Thanks Victor
for getting these amazing stories out! They should be used to beyond
fundraising to make people edit / atleast know who is editing Wikipedia.
The "20 something male editor" may in larger numbers, but showcasing these
profiles from different demographic might make more the ratio better.
