Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] IRC: Social Media pilot
Dear all, Here's a link to yesterday's IRC logs on Social Media pilot for those who missed it: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/India_Program/IRC_meeting_2012-06-22 Just to summarize, we had a wonderful discussion with English and Indic Wikipedians (from 6 Indic languages - as, bn, ml, ne,or and ta) regarding the different ways in which they have been using social media platforms so far to spread awareness about their Wiki projects. We also spoke about how one can engage new editors, how language on Facebook groups differs, the challenges people have been facing so far. The real challenge would be to retain these editors and motivate them to edit based on their interest. Will keep you updated as we try more things. Let's keep this conversation going and discuss more regularly on how each group is progressing. I'd be happy to help. Please don't hesitate to email me. Thanks, Best, Noopur On Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 8:45 PM, Anirudh Bhati anirudh...@gmail.com wrote: Once you log in to the webchat server on freenode, type /join #wikimedia-office On Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 8:17 PM, Arjun Mangol Kanoth arjun.man...@gmail.com wrote: Erm, I think ive got in in the wrong channel?

The blood boiling and here to prove a point ones. More than the proposal itself, these makes me very uncomfortable. If you are contributing to Wikipedia to prove a point to someone else, I can only feel sorry for you. -- Regards Srikanth.L ___ 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
Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] FOSS.in - call for proposals open till 8 July
So FOSS.IN is back I see. We were supposed to have had a slot back in 2009, but nothing happened of it. It would be great if something materialises this year. -- Regards, Srikanth Ramakrishnan. ___ 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

As far as Indian places are concerned, can't coordinates be sourced from Census data? -- Regards, Srikanth Ramakrishnan. ___ 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
