Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] WikiConfIndia - Old/New Logo Decision discussion
I'm glad the decision is to stick to the old logo. I does *seem* to be spelled incorrectly, but actually it's not. The old logo uses running-hand devnagri (as in, as if its handwritten) and not any printing font. Handwritten devnagri can be as difficult (or easy) to read as any other script. The way its written in the logo, one does have to re-read it and work it out - but that's part of its appeal to me. I've not seen the re-submitted new logo and hence this is not a comment on its merits.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Press Coverage: Request for Voices Faces!
Hello Hisham, Everyone, Both these articles will go a long way in generating more awareness and interest in Wikipedia and its Programs. The Telegraph article is on an fully open-access website, while the Times Crest site requires sign-up. I do not know if Times Crest is widely known or is available in print. I learned of if from a previous post to this list giving the link and also the text of the article. Could the Times Group be requested to also carry the Times Crest article on an open site. Respecting copyrights and then given the title/headline of the article, I would not like to copy-paste the text from the said previous post. Yet, I'd like to share it with a few academics in one or two schools and colleges who, I think, would be interested, but may not have read the article. [Posting the text on this list though is Fair Use, imho.] A thought. I wonder how some popular columnists, known for their incisive styles and penchant for word-play, would treat [if they decided to] the subject/s of these articles. Meanwhile, though probably off-topic on this list, may I share with you in the celebration of the lives of two memorable Mumbaikars, recently passed; with this : http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/erratica/entry/conqueror-of-maladies .

[Wikimediaindia-l] Pune Pilots, Ambassadors and MumCon Questions
Hi All, ***Please excuse previous incomplete mail sent by mistake.*** I'm very new to Wikimedia, but delighted since joining this list last week. Godspeed to everyone in the Pune Pilots 1k Program. I read the Robinson Crusoe Economy article. It is so clean, complete and elegant. It will be a privilige to be given an opportunity to work with you, now and upon roll-out. So I've submitted my Online Ambassador Application, and am keeping my fingers crossed. But here start my questions. 1. In the application I've given my locality, city (kolkata), state country. Was the full postal address required. If so, should I re-submit? 2. Could there be training sessions for Online/Campus Ambassadors at Mumbai just before or after the Conference dates? [I'd not like to tie-up conference time with classrom time] 3. Also, could there be similar sessions for Wikipedia editors to improve their Wikiabilities generally. 4. Could/would there be a facility to hire laptops for the duration of the Conference - if not generally, then on the basis of request/choice made via the registration form?
