Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Announcing Phase 1 of Wiki Loves Food
Hi, I'm kinda confused; that the main contest starts from the next day the planned pilot contest ends. So whats the use of running a pilot contest without spending time in understanding what went good and what went bad. Is it because the chapter is in deadline to do something as a big project within next quarter or is there any other reason?

Hi, I checked with my travel agent; Indians need to visit the Mexican embassy in New Delhi for recording biometrics for the visa. Congrats to everyone who got the scholarship!
