Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimedia Servers and Copyright Issues
Hello, The autobiography and some other works were deleted from the English Wikisource and moved to Wikilivres because of URAA. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:Mohandas_K._Gandhi Also several volumes from The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi were deleted from Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:The_Collected_Works_of_Mahatma_Gandhi Yann 2013/5/13 Achal Prabhala aprabh...@gmail.com: Thanks Yann, this is extremely interesting.

(There's an interesting question on Gandhi here: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Possible_copyright_violations#copyright_status_of_Gandhi.27s_original_works.3F - but no actions that I can easily see).

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimedia Servers and Copyright Issues
@Srikant, Sorry but I think not. US laws says differently. They are considering date of publishing. When the author died is not their concern. That is a major difference b/w Indian and US laws. Even if something is in free domain according to Indian laws, they have to satisfy some criteria to be in free domain in US, where they are stored. These criteria are mentioned in the pdf I shared by link. Regards, Balasankar C 2013/5/12 Srikanth Ramakrishnan srik.r...@wikimedia.in Hi, as far as my understanding goes, in nearly all cases, publication happens much before death of the author [unless published posthumously]. So, if the Author of the work died more than 60 years ago, the work will be in the Public Domain as per Indian laws. As I said, unless the work has been published after the authors death, it should ideally be in the Public Domain even as per US laws. Am I understanding it correctly? On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 10:20 PM, Balasankar Chelamattath c.balasan...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Srikanth, I didnt quite understand what you meant by example. An example for a work which is in public domain in India and not in US - Works by Changampuzha Krishnapillai ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changampuzha_Krishna_Pillai ). He passed away in 1948, and hence it is 65 years after the author's death. So the books are copyright-free in India as of now (in pubic domain). But they 1. were not published before 1923 2. were not in the public domain in India as of 1 January 1996 ( because criteria of 60 years after author's death not satisfied on 1996) Hence they are not in public domain according to US Laws. So we cannot store them in US servers. The main problem is India considers copyright based on date of author's death and US does it based on date of publication. Regards, Balasankar C 2013/5/10 Srikanth Ramakrishnan srik.r...@wikimedia.in Hi Balasankar, Can you point out specific instances and show when and where the book or publication was first published? If the works are still copyrighted in India, then they should be copyrighted in the US as well, generally speaking. The term India awards to creators is lesser than the one provided in the US under copyright laws.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimedia Servers and Copyright Issues
Thanks Anchal. But one doubt. For literary works, the binding limit (Berne/ TRIPs) is life + 50 years, whereas in India it is life + 60, whereas in the US it is life + 70 or 120/95 if made on work for hire. Doesn't US Law consider the date of publishing for copyright purposes. I think they don't mind when the author died. So isn't it publication+95 in US?

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] welcome, new technical contributors
Hi, How we can grow technical community? Almost every technical college has a Linux User Group which meets once in a while. We could use their interest in Open Source to increase our contributor base. A few colleges also have groups dedicated to programming activities. We can reach out to them as well. Not just for technical community: Organize workshops on how to get started with Wiki development. Although the documentation is good, I have seen a reluctance and fear in people when they setup such an app that is being used by millions. We can also organize Wikiathons where people would try to make as many edits possible in a given time span. I am positive that we will see a lot of edits because people in college tend to carve their niche. Any thoughts are welcome.

So that's something Indian technical contributors could work on. I have a suggestion: And whatever languages you feel comfortable with, try making some small improvements to a few pages for wikis in those languages -- Tamil Wiktionary, Kannada Wikisource, Hindi Wikiquote, Bengali Wikipedia, and so on. And then look at the wiki's village pump, watering hole, scriptorium, or other community discussion forum.

[Wikimediaindia-l] an example of how to work with wikilivres
Hi Balasankaran, and Gautam (in continuation of your discussion from 2011!), Yann forward me the Wikisource page for Gandhi's book Experiments with Truth (published 1927) which is pretty much a perfect example of the problem in question (ie. a text that is PD in India and copyrighted in the US). http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/An_Autobiography_or_The_Story_of_my_Experiments_with_Truth So, while the source document is hosted on Wikilivres, Wikisource has a nice page with some basic information, the copyright story, and an external link - thereby allowing people from within the Wikimedia community who reach it to access the full text outside. In the interim, this seems like a great way to get around US copyright law, and the Wikisource community seems to like it fine. Presumably, something like this can be done on Commons too. Thank you Yann.

Hi, I like to showcase my photo contributions to commons to my friends. The current page http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles/username is so old and not very intuitive to see the photos. Is it any possible to show the photos as a gallery like in flickr/picasa? -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free E-Magazine on Free Open Source Software in Tamil : http://kaniyam.com Get CollabNet Subversion Edge : http://www.collab.net/svnedge ___ 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

Wasn't this approach tried earlier? To be able to build and sustain a community within an educational institute the minimum requirements would be the definition of why there will be contributions, who will coach the first set of members of the community and, how much oversight the process will have in terms of points that can be measured. -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay https://twitter.com/#!/sankarshan ___ 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
