Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Konkani Wikipedia.
As the old military expression goes, the impossible just takes a little longer. Choose one script/dialect combination (organically, not by diktat), develop it to a starting point, and I venture to suggest that enthusiasts will come forward to support developing the variants.

(offtopic) The correct military adage of the [[Indian Army Corps of Engineers]] is - The difficult we do immediately, for the impossible we need a little notice. :) Warm regards, Ashwin Baindur -- On Sun, Feb 26, 2012 at 8:54 AM, Vickram Crishna vvcris...@radiophony.comwrote: As the old military expression goes, the impossible just takes a little longer.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Improving outreach efforts in India

Meanwhile an interesting post to read[1] Specifically for Indic languages, how do we make sure that we have relatively less rigid and comprehensive policies (which work for en-wp with tens of thousands of editors - but is totally impractical when we have 50 editors which is the case for all but 3 Indic communities.) This is no where close to anything about outreach. So am replying here,would like to say 3 things on it. 1. Policies should always be determined, drafted, discussed by the community. Please sit and watch at bay. Do not interfere with community's autonomy unless its an extreme situation. 2. Chapter / Programs / Foundation interference on these must be minimal, only when there is a extreme danger to the health of wiki / risking the entities. (Interfere if a wiki is not drafting copyvio policies and is soft on it) 3. There might be people who understand Wikipedia culture differently, people having no idea about Wiki culture who reboot the inactive communities, in such cases, India Programs should only be helping educate those users about core values, policies in other wikis and the decision on policies must always be taken by the communities themselves.
