Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Request for an announcement mailing list
Hi One suggestion I have is to put [Announcement] in the subject line. That way an announcement should be distinguished.

Hello Vishnu, I don't personally indicate A2K here, I did specify that this is applicable for generally; i.e. also for the Chapter and other communities. I also second Rahmanuddin Shaik for adding something like Announcement: so that people are aware that this is just an announcement, which indirectly means that your comments. We should also encourage people to post their comments on some other place like Meta Wiki, Wikipedia, or WMIN Wiki. This will also keep record of for all communication, and it will also keep our inbox clean. I have seen recently that many mails from the Wikimedia India mailing list reach spam list instead of inbox, and that's really sad. We end up missing various mails. I'll also echo what Arun and all have expressed here. I'm really happy and thankful that everyone came up here with your opinion :) Regards, Karthik.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Commons gallery tools (Re: Wikimediaindia-l Digest, Vol 459, Issue 1)
Hi Shrinivasan, Wonder if you have seen the link showing the Javascript based gallery tool https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:MyGallerywithJS=MediaWiki:JSONListUploads.jsgUser=username The metadata can only be looked up with an extra click though. best wishes Shyamal https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:MyGallerywithJS=MediaWiki:JSONListUploads.jsgUser=Shyamal Date: Wed, 15 May 2013 05:15:53 + From: Shrinivasan T tshriniva...@gmail.com 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? ___ 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
