Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Article Feedback Tool v5 : Indian Perspective
Hi Oliver On Wed, Dec 21, 2011 at 21:56, Oliver Keyes oke...@wikimedia.org wrote: The first is that the tool is directly saying what do you think about the content and not what do you think about the subject of the content, which might cut *some* junk. Second This is partly true, also an option to move the feedback to talk page can help, so not just the feedback viewers get access to feedback (which would help improve the article), everyone else also has it. On the second front, there will be a full range of hide tools (and possibly the ability to block), and the oversight function is being included.. It is still to be determined who will be able to use these hide tools. I would also prefer to keep this barrier low. Am slightly concerned that one day the number of tools will grow more than the number of people there to monitor them (esp WikiProject India and other smaller projects) (exaggeration!) But growing editors is key and I hope this will directly / indirectly involve more people and make people to start editing (along with visual editor etc).

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Android ICS support for Tamil and Indic languages
Srikanth, Android is not like Windows, where you get the latest version and install. You can upgrade only if your device manufacturer offers one. My dads Dell runs on 2.1 which cannot be upgraded. My sister uses an Optimus which runs on 2.2 and can be upgraded to 2.3. Also, Android is no longer ELITE. Android devices are available for as low as 6k. The Dell, I mentioned earlier now retails for less than 6K.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Welcoming Subhashish Panigrahi
Hi Folks, As you might be aware, the Consultant, Team Support position is to be filled as part of the India Programs team. (http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-September/004251.html.) I am really pleased and excited to announce that Subhashish Panigrahi has agreed to join as Consultant, Community Program Support. Some of you might know Subhashish (or Subha as he's also called.) He is all of 23 and a wonderful Wikimedian from Odisha. He has a BE in Biotechnology from Sapthagiri College of Engineering, Bangalore. He has worked for about 1 1/2 years in business development and is currently based in Bangalore. He's been an active Wikimedian since a friend of his attended a Wikipedia 10th event in Bangalore in January and told Subha about Wikipedia. Subha then spent considerable time - quite a bit of it in Shiju Alex's living room apparently :-) - learning about Wikipedia. Since then, he's been on fire! He's helped the Bangalore community organise the monthly meet-ups, been a central figure in building community momentum for Odia Wikipedia and has conducted outreach programs for Odia projects back home in Odisha as well as in Bangalore. He's also been helping out other projects and communities; a couple of weekends ago he was in Chennai conducting a WikiAcademy there. He is a fantastically inspiring example of a complete outsider being welcomed into the family, having his hand held in his growth as a newbie, charging forward taking responsibility ownership and then spreading his skills knowledge to others. He is also one of the sweetest human beings I have ever met. He is a perfect example of the Wikimedia Dream. His interests (outside of Wikimedia) are cooking, graphic design and handwriting analysis. (I bet most of you who know Subha don't know that last bit about him. So the next time you see him, show him your writing and get him to reveal your deep dark secrets!) He has also been involved with campaigns for social work during the floods and cholera outbreak in Odisha and been involved with a Odisha community organisation, eOdissa.com. Originally, the Consultant, Team Support position (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs#Team_Structure) was to manage the back-end aspects of India Programs (basic accounting, basic personnel management, office administration, travel support, expense statement management, logistics support for the community, etc.) I have been looking at the actual work load involved and I do not think this is a full time role. The functions listed are essential and need to be done - but there is an opportunity to improve the richness of the position and it's value to the community. I'm therefore proposing that the Consultant, Team Support be redesignated to Consultant, Community Program Support. I envisage this position to have about 1/3 of time spent on the back-end work listed above but 2/3 of time can be very productively utilised supporting community efforts - such as helping community building outreach and supporting community-led initiatives. An important consideration I have for this redesignation is after looking at the specific skills that Subha brings to the table; I want to make sure that he has the required space to realise his potential and to support the community and movement. Subha will of course continue to pursue his personal voluntary work for and as part of the Wikimedia community. The one question that he emphasized during the selection process was whether he would retain the flexibility to continue to pursue his personal passions on Wikimedia; the answer he got was a loud Y-E-S!!! :-) I'm delighted to have another community member joining the team. He'll formally start in Delhi on January 9th 2012. Do join me in welcoming him.

Thanks a lot all of you, I am so glad for the new role and all your support in the recent past and I would continue working for all the communities in the outreach campaigns. And I am going to miss Bangalore and all the community members very much, but I promise I will continue editing also.

Congo Subha!!! Warm welcome on behalf of the Wikimedia Odia! On Thu, Dec 22, 2011 at 6:16 PM, Hisham his...@wikimedia.org wrote: Hi Folks, I normally send such notices first to the India mailing list, but I feel it's only right that I send it to the Odia community one first! As you might be aware, the Consultant, Team Support position is to be filled as part of the India Programs team. ( http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-September/004251.html.) I am really pleased and excited to announce that Subhashish Panigrahi has agreed to join as Consultant, Community Program Support. Most of you probably know Subhashish (or Subha as he's also called.) He is all of 23 and a wonderful Wikimedian from Odisha. He has a BE in Biotechnology from Sapthagiri College of Engineering, Bangalore. He has worked for about 1 1/2 years in business development and is currently based in Bangalore. He's been an active Wikimedian since a friend of his attended a Wikipedia 10th event in Bangalore in January and told Subha about Wikipedia. Subha then spent considerable time - quite a bit of it in Shiju Alex's living room apparently :-) - learning about Wikipedia. Since then, he's been on fire! He's helped the Bangalore community organise the monthly meet-ups, been a central figure in building community momentum for Odia Wikipedia and has conducted outreach programs for Odia projects back home in Odisha as well as in Bangalore. He's also been helping out other projects and communities; a couple of weekends ago he was in Chennai conducting a WikiAcademy there. He is a fantastically inspiring example of a complete outsider being welcomed into the family, having his hand held in his growth as a newbie, charging forward taking responsibility ownership and then spreading his skills knowledge to others. He is also one of the sweetest human beings I have ever met. He is a perfect example of the Wikimedia Dream. His interests (outside of Wikimedia) are cooking, graphic design and handwriting analysis. (I bet most of you who know Subha don't know that last bit about him. So the next time you see him, show him your writing and get him to reveal your deep dark secrets!) He has also been involved with campaigns for social work during the floods and cholera outbreak in Odisha and been involved with a Odisha community organisation, eOdissa.comhttp://eodissa.com/ . Originally, the Consultant, Team Support position ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs#Team_Structure) was to manage the back-end aspects of India Programs (basic accounting, basic personnel management, office administration, travel support, expense statement management, logistics support for the community, etc.) I have been looking at the actual work load involved and I do not think this is a full time role. The functions listed are essential and need to be done - but there is an opportunity to improve the richness of the position and it's value to the community. I'm therefore proposing that the Consultant, Team Support be redesignated to Consultant, Community Program Support. I envisage this position to have about 1/3 of time spent on the back-end work listed above but 2/3 of time can be very productively utilised supporting community efforts - such as helping community building outreach and supporting community-led initiatives. An important consideration I have for this redesignation is after looking at the specific skills that Subha brings to the table; I want to make sure that he has the required space to realise his potential and to support the community and movement. Subha will of course continue to pursue his personal voluntary work for and as part of the Wikimedia community. The one question that he emphasized during the selection process was whether he would retain the flexibility to continue to pursue his personal passions on Wikimedia; the answer he got was a loud Y-E-S!!! :-) I'm delighted to have another community member joining the team. He'll formally start in Delhi on January 9th 2012. Do join me in welcoming him.

Congratulations Subhashish, :) We all are extremely excited to have you in the India Programs Team. I've heard so many nice and sweet things about you - I'm sure working with you would be a pleasure!

(http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-September/004251.html.) I am really pleased and excited to announce that Subhashish Panigrahi has agreed to join as Consultant, Community Program Support. Some of you might know Subhashish (or Subha as he's also called.) He is all of 23 and a wonderful Wikimedian from Odisha. He has a BE in Biotechnology from Sapthagiri College of Engineering, Bangalore. He has worked for about 1 1/2 years in business development and is currently based in Bangalore. He's been an active Wikimedian since a friend of his attended a Wikipedia 10th event in Bangalore in January and told Subha about Wikipedia. Subha then spent considerable time - quite a bit of it in Shiju Alex's living room apparently :-) - learning about Wikipedia. Since then, he's been on fire! He's helped the Bangalore community organise the monthly meet-ups, been a central figure in building community momentum for Odia Wikipedia and has conducted outreach programs for Odia projects back home in Odisha as well as in Bangalore. He's also been helping out other projects and communities; a couple of weekends ago he was in Chennai conducting a WikiAcademy there. He is a fantastically inspiring example of a complete outsider being welcomed into the family, having his hand held in his growth as a newbie, charging forward taking responsibility ownership and then spreading his skills knowledge to others. He is also one of the sweetest human beings I have ever met. He is a perfect example of the Wikimedia Dream. His interests (outside of Wikimedia) are cooking, graphic design and handwriting analysis. (I bet most of you who know Subha don't know that last bit about him. So the next time you see him, show him your writing and get him to reveal your deep dark secrets!) He has also been involved with campaigns for social work during the floods and cholera outbreak in Odisha and been involved with a Odisha community organisation, eOdissa.com. Originally, the Consultant, Team Support position (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs#Team_Structure) was to manage the back-end aspects of India Programs (basic accounting, basic personnel management, office administration, travel support, expense statement management, logistics support for the community, etc.) I have been looking at the actual work load involved and I do not think this is a full time role. The functions listed are essential and need to be done - but there is an opportunity to improve the richness of the position and it's value to the community. I'm therefore proposing that the Consultant, Team Support be redesignated to Consultant, Community Program Support. I envisage this position to have about 1/3 of time spent on the back-end work listed above but 2/3 of time can be very productively utilised supporting community efforts - such as helping community building outreach and supporting community-led initiatives. An important consideration I have for this redesignation is after looking at the specific skills that Subha brings to the table; I want to make sure that he has the required space to realise his potential and to support the community and movement. Subha will of course continue to pursue his personal voluntary work for and as part of the Wikimedia community. The one question that he emphasized during the selection process was whether he would retain the flexibility to continue to pursue his personal passions

[Wikimediaindia-l] Invite for WikiWomenCamp
Dear all, This is to invite all the women editors and contributors on Wikipedia and other sister projects from India to *WikiWomenCamp*. I'd like to invite all our fellow women members from the chapter and contributors outside to attend the conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina in May 2012. While the conference is largely aimed at women involved in the Wikimedia movement, the organisers feel that women editors from Wikipedia, helping on Indic communities can also offer a unique perspective that can be of use to female leaders inside the Wikimedia movement and help expand the movement to make it inclusive for all. In turn, we hope that we can provide them with contacts and assistance with their work related projects. Details related to the conference can be found at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp Do pass this on to the other lists concerned and hope to see substantial participation from India.Let's do it! :) Warmly Noopur -- Noopur Raval Student Arts and Aesthetics Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi Ph: 9650567690 ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
