[Wikimediaindia-l] Update on Wikipedia India Education Program: Report Project Page
Hi Folks Here's a report on the Wikipedia India Education Program: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_-_India_Programs/India_Campus_Program_Reports#Roll_Out_Visit:_May_31st_.E2.80.93_June_17th.2C_2011 In (very) short summary, it's been an action packed 4-5 weeks, the team has done a huge amount of groundwork - and there appears to be significant potential. Do go through the report for further details. ...I've tried to make the report as interesting to read as possible - and focus on the learnings and implications for a national roll-out (instead of making it a random list summarising various activities.) Do let me have your views on the mailing lists or the Talk Page. (A project page has also been set up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pune but I hasten to add that it is in early stages of construction. ...but do keep visiting it. Finger crossed, it's going to get very busy, very soon!) I'd like to thank everyone from the community who have helped out so amazingly!

Great work, Campus ambassadors from Pune. You have the full support of the Pune community. BTW moved the page from Wikipedia:Puneto Wikipedia:Pune Campus Ambassadors Program, as the city has many more facets in addition to the program.

Hi Hisham, It's very comprehensive and light headed reading, first I thought I'll never reach till end but I did :) You captured almost all of it, and it was a sort of nostalgia for me while reading.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Google's Indic Wikipedia translation project closing down
In fact it affected the community growth also. Allowing this type paid editing is one of the bad things happened in Indic wikis recently.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Google's Indic Wikipedia translation project closing down
Great, now in ta wiki we are stuck with the task of correcting a 1000 crappy large articles. No wonder they showed little interest in correcting or copy editing and always wanted to push for more new articles. They must have had an internal target of X words or so for gaining experience for the machines. Once that was done they have closed up shop. You can expect translations for these new alpha languages to be less fluent and include many more untranslated words If this is the officially admitted state of an alpha release, imagine the quality of the articles this project created using beta versions. ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
