Hi Abhishek, It is a novel effort. Wish the event a big success. One suggestion. As many on the list may have heard about the growth of Community Radio in India. Probably it would be ideal if we tie up with some of these not for profit entities to tap into their recordings and make them available on the wikiproject platform. This will not only save the energies of community members in creating new audio articles but will also provide the CR stations and the rural communities they target a virtual space and also expand the wiki-India community. I would be more than happy to take a lead on this if the community finds it worthy.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Spoken Wikipedia Workshop - 16th December-2012 Pune.
I think this is a pretty good idea. Already, the stations have the need to deliver 6 month's recordings to the relevant Ministry, as part of the tc of their licenses. We need to establish a 'chain' to each station, whereby an additional copy (presently, the stipulation mentions a cd or DVD) can be made for wikipedia. Actually, I see scope for a very big step forward, where the content is put up on wikipedia every month, for instance, or even at shorter intervals, and the Ministry be sent the links. This will considerably reduce the 'unofficial' pressure on the stations created by the need for monitoring content (presumably to prevent misuse; in reality, such misuse is inherent in the way that licenses are disbursed, but that is a topic for a different list). What I am suggesting, therefore, is cooperation from Wikimedia to make the content of cr stations available online as a practice. The stations would love it, because it will give them huge leverage in being able to get the Ministry off their backs. If the Chapter can get involved, and a framework established to make this online content available regularly at no cost to the stations (which work hand-to-mouth, the genuine ones, I mean) I think it will be a win-win situation. Even without making it a systemic practice, a lot can be done with individual stations, and in any case it is only respectful to approach each station that way. Still, I am pretty sure the existing cr bodies (there are two) will find this suggestion very welcome, and will put their weight behind getting a system in place. -- Vickram Fool On The Hill The cameras were all around.
