Hi Anirudh

I brought up the issue with wikimedia.in domain earlier, why not have it
redirect to the wiki itself and add a section for blog/news on wiki. It
would seem like there would be a lot of redundancy between the two, and it
would only require more work to update both separately.

Either way, I have experience with smaller wikis and new mediawiki
installations. I can help with the wiki itself and better organize it.

Welcome Béria to India list. Thanks for taking the trouble to do up the
WikiConference page on Meta

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_India_2011

People, have a look. The page now sizzles. Great change from the
doh..vanilla setup I started a few weeks ago! Great job, Béria.

Thanks much for the offer of help, Beria.  Really appreciate that.

Personally, I would agree with the sentiment that a single website
serves the purpose.  We can simply lock some pages to make them
static, the rest can work like a wiki.

Are there more suggestions on this issue?  Should we have two websites
(one static, based on wordpress or drupal and the other a wiki) or
should one (wiki) serve the purpose best?

Beria, at this point of time, I would say that anything is better than
the plain pages we have now.  We require some standardization too, so
that we can organize information better (through categories).

I think the Wikimedia Hong Kong page (wikimedia.hk) looks great.  Are
there more examples?  Maybe we need some out-of-the-box thinking to
create something new. (-:

  And I agree with Salmaan, there are no point in keep wikimedia.in and
 wiki.wikimedia.in separated. but I would do the oposite (ie: redirect
 wiki.wikimedia.in to wikimedia.in but with the actual content - like in
 wikimedia.de and wikimedia.pt. A diferent portal would only be useful if
 was like wikimedia.fr one (in their case the wiki is almost not used at
 all).
 
  And talking about that: Do you people have it wikipedia.in domain?
 Because if a chapter would give good use to that would be you (with the
 thousand languages in India). You could do something like in
 wikipedia.fr (WMPT has the code, we are updating to place in our
 wikipedia.pt (now a redirect to pt.wikipedia.org).
 
  And btw: Hello people. Salmaan invited me to be here, but if i
 shouldn't please say so and i will leave.

  Hi Anirudh
  I brought up the issue with wikimedia.in domain earlier, why not have
 it redirect to the wiki itself and add a section for blog/news on wiki. It
 would seem like there would be a lot of redundancy between the two, and it
 would only require more work to update both separately.
  Either way, I have experience with smaller wikis and new mediawiki
 installations. I can help with the wiki itself and better organize it.

  Hi all,
 
  The Wikimedia India portal has been up and running for a while now.
  I request the attention of available volunteers to help us with the
 Wikimedia website redesign.  We mainly need help with two issues:
  1.  Wikimedia India wiki:  The Main Page of the wiki (
 wiki.wikimedia.in) requires a re-design to make it look better organized
 and attractive.  I would appreciate if volunteers with designing and HTML
 skills please support us with this request.  We welcome all contributions
 and inputs, and I request you to be bold and make changes as and how you see
 fit.
  2.  Wikimedia India landing page: The wikimedia.in domain lands at a
 static page and the plan is to have a wordpress or drupal based platform to
 support a few static pages and a blog.  Would appreciate if some volunteers
 helped us with this as well.
  Yours sincerely,
 
  Anirudh Bhati
