[Wikimediaindia-l] Vikaspedia: reaching the unreached in India
Anyone seen or know of this? Found it by accident from this article: http://discover.isif.asia/2014/02/will-india-succeed-where-wikipedia-has-failed/ Wondering what it means for these language wikipedias - is there an opportunity for collaboration?

Hoi, Seriously, do you want to make a difference.. Is there room to make an effort? Do we dare to? We are very set in our ways. The WMF has an ingrained way of doing more of the same thing but better. There are opportunities that are not realised because the moment is not there yet. We could do to inject a bit more wiki in our Wikis.. What we do is very much a set practice with minor variations. When we want to make a difference in India or elsewher we can. But it is not necessarily done by doing more of the same and it certainly does not get done with the prevailing Wikipedia only mentality. Still, interested? Let us talk directly.. When you think I may be on to something having heard what I have to say, you can make my ideas your own and I will be proud of you when they get realised.

Hi, On Mon, Apr 28, 2014 at 3:58 PM, Bishakha Datta bishakhada...@gmail.comwrote: Anyone seen or know of this?

I had known from its early days when it was called *India development gateway* and also interacted with them for potential collaboration. Indian language Wikipedias are certainly better off in terms of page views as can be seen from my analysis given below done in 2012. In March 2010, unique visitor count was 2630. It increased to 4460 by Mar 2011. For all 8 languages put together average daily page views are 13350. For Telugu wikipedia alone, daily page views are 8 as on July 2012. Please note the time periods are based on the data available and are not exactly comparable, but they indicate rough status. Cheers Arjuna 1.
