[Wikimediaindia-l] Wiki Data : New Wikimedia Project for Structured Data

2011-10-25 Thread Srikanth Lakshmanan
Hi all,

Wikimedia would be a starting new project WikiData. Details here[1] . I am
particularly excited about how the interwiki data and API  is made
available and hope it would be immense use to all Indic languages, many
possibilities of mashups, data extractions might be easier with the
infrastructure. Sundar's idea to target Indic users using interwiki
metadata, apps like interwikiredirector[2], can benefit significantly out of
this. We shall look forward to hear more details on the project and wish all
the success both technically, community wise.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Tamil Wikipedia -- Google Translation experiences at Arabic Wiki Convention.

2011-10-25 Thread Srikanth Lakshmanan
Hi all,

Last week Arabic Wikipedians organized Arabic Wikipedia Convening (WMF Blog
Report [1]) hosted by Qatar Computing Research Institute at Doha. Since the
Qatar Institute was looking at options on machine / manual translation to
increase articles on Arabic Wikipedia, they had invited a Tamil Wikipedia -
Google translation coordinator to learn from the experiences of other
communities which did a large scale project. User:Sodabottle presented on
the community experiences and learnings[2].
