[Wikimediaindia-l] Report on Bangalore event of CC held on 25th Feb 2013.
We are happy to share with you the good news that the Creative Commons event held at Bangalore on 25th Feb 2013, was concluded successfully. We had the Creative Commons presentation focused on Open GLAM along with a wikimedia presentation focused on GLAM WIKI. Arun Ram, founder member of the chapter spoke about Wikimedia, and Wikimedia India. This was followed by a presentation on Creative commons licenses and how they work by Jessica Coates. Arun continued with a description GLAM and the intersection of GLAM with wikipedia. Omshivaprakash brought out many examples of Creative Commons used in Kannada web. Jane Hornibrook gave many examples of CC licenses being used worldwide. The event was attended by 88 people at the beginning. Ladies outnumbered gents 50 : 38. Apart from the students of College of Fine Arts, there were nearly 40 students from the Indian Institute of Journalism and New Media. There were a few members from Azim Premji Foundation. There was a member who had come all the way from Pondicherry. The way some 15 to 20 odd guests hung around till the very last, nearly 10 to 15 minutes after the end of the event, showed the camaraderie built over the event. The major disappointment was that the target audience of Galleries, Museums etc were low in attendance. Overall it was a good event. ___ 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] Mobile sites of Indic Wikipedias
Hi Srikanth, I would suggest you to try it now. Many things have been improved over the period. Feel free to share your opinions/feedback which can be useful to make user experience from uncomfortable to comfortable :). -- शंतनू On 27/02/13 5:18 PM, Srikanth Ramakrishnan wrote: Hi Shantanoo, when I sent that mail in March, I was uncomfortable with Narayam. I have since then, stopped using editing using my mobile [it still is an entry level Java phone]. However, even today, on Wikidata, [where I spend most of my editing time] I prefer using Quillpad over the built in tools. As for my phone, I prefer Quillpad over other tools.

Also, there is an app called MatruBhasha which offers pretty much the same functionality. I got it from Tata Docomo's server. One can always open the site in web-browser and type in the native language of the site using Narayam IME which is already available for most of the languages. Any specific reason for using the application instead of the native Narayam IME? Maybe someone can add those missing features to Narayam. -- शंतनू -- Regards, Srikanth Ramakrishnan.
