[Wikimediaindia-l] India-l
Hi I was looking through the mailing lists, and I saw this list called India-l. It seems to have only staff members subscribed. This was created recently by Melanie Brown, so I am assuming good faith and asking if I missed the announcement or it is forthcoming? Can someone clarify- * If the list is private for the India staff? if so, you might want to consider changing the archive and access settings to private. * If the list is indeed for India issues, like it says, in the description, I think its existence should at least be made public to the Indian community? and have more than 2 Indians on it.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [WMFIndiaIssues-l] India-l
This list was created for WMF senior staff only for information sharing of India-related issues that might arise from time to time. It is intended to be a private list and the settings will be changed.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Are you on this list but not comfortable editing Wikipedia and not sure who to ask? Want to learn?? SITTING AT HOME???
Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2012 20:59:15 +0530 From: Nitika ntan...@wikimedia.org It is free and there's nothing to install. Do make sure you check your mic and speakers beforehand (and the screen also asks you to check your hair!) It allows everyone to see each other's video - making it a more human experience. Also, we'll be able to view each other's screens which will make it simpler to conduct this session. We can have a max of 10 people doing a hangout at any point in time. In case we have more than 10 interested participants, we will organize multiple sessions. Thanks for initiating this, Nitika! Very interesting and full of potential. I have recently run a set of Google+ Hangout sessions for a similar training exercise (Git, Gerrit, and You! - training software developers in using some new tools). My experiences were mostly positive, and it was great to be able to screen-share and see others' screens! Two things to watch out for: * There is a plugin or two that one needs to install in order to participate; in my version of Firefox it's Google Talk Plugin and Google Talk Plugin Video Accelerator (in Addons), but I think it's also called GTalk Voice/Video Plugin or something like that. I got reports that it doesn't work with Chrome/Chromium. * It's useful to tell people who haven't done Hangouts before to show up on chat or IRC 15-30 minutes early in order to get Google+ accounts, install the plugin, get invited to the Hangout (if you're running it invite-only), test their voice and video connectivity, test screensharing, iron out technical issues, etc. In my case, I also wanted to get them set up with accounts ahead of time, but for you it sounds like a great idea to do the account setup as part of the training. Hope this is helpful! And if you think these tips should go somewhere on the outreach wiki(s), please feel free to add it or point me to where I should. :-) -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Tamil Wiki Media Contest
This is an amazing news, congratulations to all the Tamil Wikipedians for their effort, hoping the 300 newbies remain contributors after this. This is so much motivating for the other Indian language communities. On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 3:21 PM, Mandar Kulkarni mvkulkarn...@yahoo.co.ukwrote: Congratulations for such a nice contest.
