Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Project Tiger 2.0 / GLOW

2019-08-16 Thread pavanaja
Dear Tito,

 

I have already seen those metrics. They are not giving the info that I am 
looking for. As already written by me –

I would appreciate the stats in the form –

*   Username, Articles created, no. of edits, data added (in kb/mb), 
uploads to commons
*   It would be better to give this stats from the date they received the 
chromebook and/or Internet.

Thanks and regards,

Pavanaja

Hello Pavanaja,

Thanks for the question. Project Tiger 1.0 had two parts, one supporting the 
Indian communities with infrastructure support. The second part was the 
edit-a-thon. These two parts were not related/linked to each other.

The support recipients' list was decided by a jury. Active Wikimedians who 
needed this support were eligible to apply. Over-All metrics may be seen here.

Thanks

Please provide the statistics of effectiveness of giving chromebooks and 
Internet connections earlier. I would appreciate the stats in the form –

It would be better to give this stats from the date they received the

I searched in the reports and could not find it.

Hello,

 

We are glad to inform you that Project Tiger 2.0/GLOW is going to start very 
soon. You know about Project Tiger first iteration where we saw exciting and 
encouraging participation from different Indian Wikimedia communities. To Know 
about Project Tiger 1.0 please see this page - 
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Supporting_Indian_Language_Wikipedias_Program

 

Like project Tiger 1.0, This iteration will have 2 components

1.  Infrastructure support - Supporting Wikimedians from India with 
internet support for 6 months and providing Chrome books.
2.  Article writing contest - A 3-month article writing contest will be 
conducted for Indian Wikimedians communities. Following community feedback, we 
noted some community members wanted the process of article list generation to 
be improved. In this iteration there will be at least two lists of articles a) 
Google-generated list, b) community suggested a list. Google generated list 
will be given to the community members before finalising the final list. On the 
other hand, the community may create a list by discussing among the community 
over Village pump, Mailing list and similar discussion channels. 

We request you to go through these pages to know more about Project Tiger 
2.0/GLOW

Santhosh Thottingal 

  has won the Maharshi Badrayan Vyas Samman by the Hon. President of India 

 . This is in recognition of his substantial contribution in the field of 
Malayalam language. The award, instituted in 2016, is given to the substantial 
contributions to languages such as Sanskrit, Persian, Arabi, Pali and Classical 
Oriya, Classical Kannada, Classical Telugu, and Classical Malayalam. This is 
given to young scholars in the age group of 30 to 45 years 

 . The Presidential award carries a certificate of honor, a memento and a 
one-time cash prize of Rs.1 lakh.

Santhosh is one of the most active contributors of Swathanthra Malayalam 
Computing and a principal engineer in Wikipedia's language computing 
department. He has designed and released several algorithms and tools that 
serve computing needs in many Indian languages including Malayalam. He heads 
the maintenance of a dozen or so of the popular Malayalam fonts. Santhosh 
(along Kavya) designed two of these fonts, Chilanka and Manjari 

 . He has contributed 
  
tools that serve a broad range of language computing needs - input tools, 
layout tools, fonts, font rendering, text to speech, translation, localization 
are just a few of these areas. He has also contributed and presented papers at 
several international conferences.

Dr. Rajeev R. R from the e-governance and training department of ICFOSS has 
also been selected for this award along with Santhosh.

We hope this award inspires Santhosh and Rajeev to push the boundaries of 
Language computing.
