[Wikimediaindia-l] Sharing insights and experiences from Indian language wiki communities - Gujarati

2011-12-10 Thread Shiju Alex
Dear All,

As part of my discussions with Indic language Wikipedians I spoke with
Dhaval Vyas from Gujarati wikipedia. Dhaval has shared his editing
experiences, his vision about Gujarati wiki projects, and other related
topics. I have summarized the discussion in meta wiki. It is available
here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/Indic_Languages/Gujarati/Discussions/2011


Gujarati wikipedia has more than 21,000 articles now. Gujarati wiki
community is slowly making its presence among Indic wiki communities. Though
the current community strength is small (15 active users), veteran users
like Dhaval have started conducting various outreach programs to spread the
message about Gujarati wiki among Gujarati speakers. Community is working
on to enable Narayam in Gujarati wikipedia and soon community will have
their own mailing list also.  Hope all these efforts will bring in more
active users to Gujarati wikipedia.


Kindly read the experience of Dhaval at:

Shiju

Ermm, Theo, my Google Mail shows them up as separate. Infact any mail
service or client would. The title thread itself is different. I don't
want to derail the topic. Nice work Shiju, but why did you speak only
to one person? Lack of participants? Noone willing to talk to you?

 Can you change your subject-line to be a bit different? I count the last 11
 emails from you with having identical subject-line followed by the one word
 mention of which language is actually is.

 It is really hard to distinguish which discussions are new or old. Since
 the first subject line is so long and identical Sharing insights...
 in the last dozen emails, gmail does not display the which language it
 actually is. One would have to open the email to see what language its
 actually about.

2011-12-10 Thread Subhashish Panigrahi
A small suggestion:

if you can keep the subject line as:
*
Hindi: Sharing insights...*
*
*
format then from the first word gives idea about the language.

Best
Subha

 Actually no. I didn't say they don't show up as different, I said the
 subject-line or title in your description is nearly identical,
 discussions are hard to separate and recognize, especially when there are
 12 emails with nearly identical title. The actual mention of the language
 is not in the first 70 characters, so they end up looking identical.

 Have a look at the mail archive for this month and the last sorted by
 author and see the mails from Shiju. They all start as Sharing insights
 and experiences from Indian language wiki communities  Followed by the
 language name, which is towards then end and not displayed by gmail and
 most client. The first mention of the language is after 70 character
 spaces, which is usually too long for most clients including gmail to
 render in the inbox itself.

 Here's November
