 My name is User:TylerT
 (http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:TylerT), and I am a member of
 the team from the Bridgespan Group that has been working with the
 Wikimedia Foundation throughout its strategic planning process.  As
 you may have heard, as part of this process the Foundation has decided
 to experiment with making short-term investments to put staff on the
 ground and help grow readership and participation across the Wikimedia
 projects and languages in a few high-priority places.  The idea of
 this pilot program is to determine what works, and what doesn't, and
 document those findings. India is one of the places that is being
 considered, and we would appreciate any help in understanding the
 following:

 # What has the Indian Wikimedia Community done in the past year to
 increase readership and participation?
 # What plans do the Indian Wikimedia Community have to continue to
 work on increasing readership and participation?
 # What are the greatest challenges the Indian Wikimedia Community
 faces in increasing readership and participation?
 # How could the Foundation help?
 # If the Foundation were to put staff on the ground in India, where
 would it make the most sense for them to be located?
 # Is there anything else the Foundation should consider when deciding
 whether or not to put staff on the ground in India?

 You can leave comments for me here, or on my talk page on the strategy
 wiki (http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:TylerT), or by
 emailing strat...@wikimedia.org.

 Thanks in advance for your help!
