Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] CIS-A2K Work Plan for July 14-June 15

This percept by Pradeep at proposal talk page sums it up; //I see no point in community engagement with this proposal to improve it without the knowledge of WMF's assessment. Trying to make improvements without any idea of the feedback will just lead to poor quality. Also, I do not see the need fo

Hi Asaf, Let me put everything aside and ask a few simple questions to you, as I see you as a representative of WMF here. 1. Why was WMIN denied the large portion of the grant requested and why do we have separate grant to a private organisation? 2. WMF have seen the results of previous funding

Asaf, Please be assured that the community is capable of separating real feedback from criticism with an agenda. We do also always intervene to uphold the diginity of the community when a discussion gets too personal and incivil. However, the recent comments made by Ansuman has brought few impor

Asaf, I covered everything in my previous email. And yes it has been bitter, the whole process..there is no transparency. And it's not my mistake. Nothing personal in there! Please don't change the topic now. I apologized to CISA2K, because i was blaming the team entirely. I realized the issue is

I will be responding to Ravi's further questions as time permits, probably only tomorrow. In the meantime, I protest against your behavior, Ansuman. It is unacceptable. Despite multiple past recurrences of this pattern as well as past apologies, here we are again -- you lash out with wild and in

Ansuman, //And about "No Outcome"; I mop at Odia Wikipedia and I regularly visit and keep track of edits there. CISA2K has created a lot of mess which need to be cleaned up. // Thanks for bringing up issues like this to broader community's notice. Folks, Do see the comments made by Prad2609 at

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] CIS-A2K Work Plan for July 14-June 15

Dear Ansuman, It is not clear what you mean by "No outcome". It would be helpful if you could take up one of the plans, for instance Odia[1] which you are more familiar with, and give some examples. Please feel free to critically assess the plan and point out lacunas and suggest improvements.
